PIGR Polyclonal Antibody, 100ul Reagent Reservoirs Type IX collagen is usually

Type IX collagen is usually found in tissues containing type II collagen

and may play a general role in the central nervous system

An isoform lacking exon 6 has been shown to play a role in the cohesion of centrioles (PMID: 16582621 and PMID: 18331714)

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the homeodomain family of DNA binding proteins

PIGR Polyclonal Antibody, 100ul Reagent Reservoirs Type IX collagen is usuallyThis gene is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. The encoded poly Ig receptor binds polymeric immunoglobulin molecules at the basolateral surface of epithelial cells; the complex is then transported across the cell to be secreted at the apical surface. A significant association was found between immunoglobulin A nephropathy and several SNPs in this gene.
