08.23.2019 Human name has changed for Entrez Gene: 256076. From collagen, type VI, alpha 5 to collagen type VI alpha 5 chain
Summary from NCBI for human COL6A5
This gene encodes a member of the collagen superfamily of proteins. The encoded protein contains multiple von Willebrand factor A-like domains and may interact with the alpha 1 and alpha 2 chains of collagen VI to form the complete collagen VI trimer. Polymorphisms in this gene may be linked to dermal phenotypes, such as eczema. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
