| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring tensile strength. Acts 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. Located in interstitial matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including cranium; genitourinary system; gut; heart and pericardium; and skeletal musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in esophagus squamous cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human COL14A1 (collagen type XIV alpha 1 chain). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display abnormal tendon morphology and abnormal biomechanical properties of the skin and tendons. [provided by MGI curators] |
