FAMILY

fibril-associated collagens with interrupted helices (FACIT) family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as COEA1_HUMAN, COL14A1, UND. Plays 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 (By similarity). Homotrimer.
