Predicted to be a structural constituent of cuticle. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of collagen trimer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pulmonary tuberculosis. Is an ortholog of human COL5A3 (collagen type V alpha 3 chain) and MARCO (macrophage receptor with collagenous structure).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
