col-99 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring tensile strength. Involved in axon guidance. Located in extracellular space; neuromuscular junction; and plasma membrane. Part of collagen trimer. Expressed in anal depressor muscle; body wall musculature; hypodermis; neurons; and retrovesicular ganglion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles 5. Is an ortholog of human COL23A1 (collagen type XXIII alpha 1 chain) and COL25A1 (collagen type XXV alpha 1 chain).
