Synthesized peptide derived from human Collagen XI alpha1 Polyclonal
Alternative Synonym:
Collagen alpha-1(XI) chain
collagen type XI alpha 1 chain(COL11A1) Homo sapiens This gene encodes one of the two alpha chains of type XI collagen, a minor fibrillar collagen. Type XI collagen is a heterotrimer but the third alpha chain is a post-translationally modified alpha 1 type II chain. Mutations in this gene are associated with type II Stickler syndrome and with Marshall syndrome. A single-nucleotide polymorphism in this gene is also associated with susceptibility to lumbar disc herniation. Multiple transcript variants have been identified for this gene.
