Col6a4 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables collagen binding activity. Involved in extracellular matrix organization. Located in extracellular region. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including bone; genitourinary system; gut; musculature; and spleen. Orthologous to human COL6A4P1 (collagen type VI alpha 4 pseudogene 1) and COL6A4P2 (collagen type VI alpha 4 pseudogene 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Col6a4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • von Willebrand factor (vWF) type A domain
  • vWFA
  • collagen binding
  • Collagen triple helix repeat (20 copies)
  • von Willebrand factor type A domain
  • Proline-rich protein
