Entrez Gene summary for COL18A1 Gene:

This gene encodes the alpha chain of type XVIII collagen. This collagen is one of the multiplexins, extracellular

matrix proteins that contain multiple triple-helix domains (collagenous domains) interrupted by non-collagenous

domains. The proteolytically produced C-terminal fragment of type XVIII collagen is endostatin, a potent

antiangiogenic protein. Mutations in this gene are associated with Knobloch syndrome. The main features of this

syndrome involve retinal abnormalities, so type XVIII collagen may play an important role in retinal structure

and in neural tube closure. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found

for this gene. (provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008)

GeneCards Summary for COL18A1 Gene:

COL18A1 (collagen, type XVIII, alpha 1) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with COL18A1 include encephalocele, and knobloch syndrome type i. GO annotations related to this gene include structural molecule activity and identical protein binding. An important paralog of this gene is COL15A1.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: COIA1_HUMAN, P39060

Function: COLA18A probably plays a major role in determining the retinal structure as well as in the closure of

the neural tube

Function: Endostatin potently inhibits endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis. May inhibit angiogenesis

by binding to the heparan sulfate proteoglycans involved in growth factor signaling
