Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable heparin binding activity. Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring tensile strength. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including collagen fibril organization; sensory perception of sound; and skeletal system development. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Part of collagen trimer. Is expressed in several structures, including connective tissue; hemolymphoid system gland; limb; musculoskeletal system; and sensory organ. Used to study Stickler syndrome; autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 13; and otospondylomegaepiphyseal dysplasia, autosomal recessive. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cleft palate; nonsyndromic deafness (multiple); and osteochondrodysplasia (multiple). Orthologous to human COL11A2 (collagen type XI alpha 2 chain).
