Col1a2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
This gene encodes the alpha-2 subunit of the fibril-forming type I collagen, the most abundant protein of bone, skin and tendon extracellular matrices. The encoded protein, in association with alpha-1 subunit, forms heterotrimeric type I procollagen that undergoes proteolytic processing during fibril formation. Mice harboring certain mutations in the encoded gene exhibit symptoms of moderate to severe forms of osteogenesis imperfecta. [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 Col1a2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- SMAD binding
- triple helical domain
- Fibrillar collagen C-terminal domain
- C-propeptide domain
- protease binding
- protein binding activity, bridging
- Collagen triple helix repeat (20 copies)
- protein binding
- C-terminal telopeptide domain
- identical protein binding
- growth factor binding
- 8-9 Fibronectin conserved module type I binding sequence
