Collagen XIV alpha 1 Antibody

COL14A1 Plays an adhesive role by integrating collagen bundles. It is probably associated with the surface of interstitial collagen fibrils via COL1. The COL2 domain may then serve as a rigid arm which sticks out from the fibril and protrudes the large N-terminal globular domain into the extracellular space, where it might interact with other matrix molecules or cell surface receptors. Belongs to the fibril-associated collagens with interrupted helices (FACIT) family.
