Collagen alpha-1(XIX) chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COL19A1 gene.[5][6][7]

Quick Facts COL19A1, Identifiers ...

This gene encodes the alpha chain of type XIX collagen, a member of the FACIT collagen family (fibril-associated collagens with interrupted helices). Although the function of this collagen is not known, other members of this collagen family are found in association with fibril-forming collagens such as type I and II, and serve to maintain the integrity of the extracellular matrix. The transcript produced from this gene has an unusually large 3' UTR which has not been completely sequenced.[7]
