COL19A1 encodes the alpha chain of type XIX collagen, a member of the FACIT collagen family (fibril-associated collagens with interrupted helices).The transcript produced from this gene has an unusually large 3' UTR which has not been completely sequenced.COL19A1 (Collagen Type XIX Alpha 1 Chain) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Degradation of the extracellular matrix and Phospholipase-C Pathway.
