CATEGORY

structural protein

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
text	extracellular matrix

basic FUNCTION	involved in the maintenance of extracellular matrix
	acting as a cell-binding protein
	might serve as a lead structure for MMP-based therapeutics which modulates the action of these matrix components, e.g. in fibrosis and cancer (Freise 2009)

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

COL6A1, COL6A2, CRELD1, FBLN2, FRZB, and GATA5 harboring purportedly deleterious case-specific variants in atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD)are associated in some way with VEGFA

a component	trimers composed of three different chains: alpha 1(VI), alpha 2(VI), and alpha 3(VI)
	major component of microfibrils

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	collagens and other proteins of the extracellular matrix
	interacts with CSPG4
