Col13a1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable heparin binding activity. Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring tensile strength. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cell-matrix adhesion; endochondral ossification; and extracellular matrix organization. Predicted to be part of collagen type IX trimer. Predicted to be active in basement membrane; cell-cell junction; and extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital myasthenic syndrome 19. Orthologous to human COL13A1 (collagen type XIII alpha 1 chain). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 rat Col13a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
