| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) An extracellular matrix structural constituent. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; collagen fibril organization; and tendon development. Located in basement membrane. Part of collagen trimer. Is expressed in several structures, including bone; embryo ectoderm; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and heart. Used to study Ehlers-Danlos syndrome classic type 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome classic type 1. Orthologous to human COL5A1 (collagen type V alpha 1 chain). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in lethality around E10-11 due to cardiovascular insufficiency and lack of collagen fibril formation. Heterozygotes exhibit poorly organized and less dense fibers in the dermis and reduced skin tensile strength and are a model for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. [provided by MGI curators] |
