Col28a1

Predicted to enable heparin binding activity. Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring tensile strength. Predicted to be involved in extracellular matrix organization. Predicted to be located in basement membrane. Predicted to be part of collagen type XI trimer. Predicted to be active in collagen-containing extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Orthologous to human COL28A1 (collagen type XXVIII alpha 1 chain).

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 Col28a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
