Target Information

This gene encodes the alpha chain of one of the nonfibrillar collagens. The function of this gene product is not known, however, it has been detected at low levels in all connective tissue-producing cells, suggesting a general role in connective tissues. Unlike most collagens, which are secreted into the extracellular matrix, collagen XIII contains a transmembrane domain and has been localized to the plasma membrane. Transcripts undergo complex splicing involving at least eight exons. Collagen XIII forms a trimer, though the composition of alpha chain isomers remains unclear. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but some full-length forms are not yet determined.
