Collagen alpha-1(XIV) chain

UniProtKB accession:  P32018

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  An adhesive role by integrating collagen bundles. It is probably associated with the surface of interstitial collagen fibrils via COL1. The COL2 domain may then serve as a rigid arm which sticks out from the fibril and protrudes the large N-terminal globular domain into the extracellular space, where it might interact with other matrix molecules or cell surface receptors.
