Col11a2 - collagen type XI alpha 2 chain

Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent. Involved in osteoblast differentiation. Predicted to be part of collagen trimer. Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix and extracellular space. 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).
