Col12a1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring tensile strength. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including angiogenesis; endodermal cell differentiation; and endothelial cell morphogenesis. Part of collagen type XII trimer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bethlem myopathy and Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy 2. Orthologous to human COL12A1 (collagen type XII 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 Col12a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
