This gene encodes the alpha-2 subunit of the fibril-forming type I collagen, the most abundant protein of bone, skin and tendon extracellular matrices. The encoded protein, in association with alpha-1 subunit, forms heterotrimeric type I procollagen that undergoes proteolytic processing during fibril formation. Mice harboring certain mutations in the encoded gene exhibit symptoms of moderate to severe forms of osteogenesis imperfecta. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
