Homo sapiens

Also known as DFNX6; DELXq22.3; CXDELq22.3

Gene ID: 1288 | Gene type: protein coding

About COL4A6

Cytogenetic location: Xq22.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): X:108,155,614-108,439,458 (from NCBI)

This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 147 orthologues, 37 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Broad expression in endometrium (RPKM 9.0), gall bladder (RPKM 7.4) and 16 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes one of the six subunits of type IV collagen, the major structural component of basement membranes. Like the other members of the type IV collagen gene family, this gene is organized in a head-to-head conformation with another type IV collagen gene, alpha 5 type IV collagen, so that the gene pair shares a common promoter. Deletions in the alpha 5 gene that extend into the alpha 6 gene result in diffuse leiomyomatosis accompanying the X-linked Alport syndrome caused by the deletion in the alpha 5 gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]
