Col11a1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
This gene encodes the alpha-1 subunit of type XI collagen, one of the low abundance fibrillar collagens that is essential for normal embryonic skeletal development and the cohesive properties of cartilage. The encoded protein, in association with the alpha-1 subunit of type II collagen, forms a heterotrimeric type XI procollagen that undergoes proteolytic processing. Mice lacking the encoded protein develop severe chondrodysplasia and die at birth. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Col11a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
