Col5a1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables heparin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including collagen biosynthetic process; collagen fibril organization; and wound healing, spreading of epidermal cells. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; skin development; and tendon development. Predicted to be located in basement membrane. Predicted to be part of collagen type V trimer. Predicted to be active in collagen-containing extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome classic type 1. Orthologous to human COL5A1 (collagen type V alpha 1 chain).

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 Col5a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
