Col14a1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in cell adhesion. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including collagen fibril organization; regulation of cell growth involved in cardiac muscle cell development; and ventricular cardiac muscle tissue development. Predicted to be part of collagen trimer. Predicted to be active in interstitial matrix. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in esophagus squamous cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human COL14A1 (collagen type XIV 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 Col14a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
