Background
This gene encodes the alpha-2 subunit of type V collagen, one of the low abundance fibrillar collagens that gets incorporated into growing fibrils with type I collagen. The encoded protein, in association with alpha-1 and/or alpha-3 subunits, forms homo- or heterotrimeric type V procollagen that undergoes proteolytic processing. Mice lacking the encoded protein die in utero. Transgenic mice that produce a structurally abnormal form of the encoded protein survive poorly and exhibit skin fragility, skeletal abnormalities and alterations in the collagen fiber organization.
