High impact information on Col3a1

  • Furthermore, mice heterozygous for Col3a1 "null" alleles have no identified phenotype [1].
  • To directly study the role of Col3a1 in development and disease, we have inactivated the Col3a1 gene in embryonic stem cells by homologous recombination [2].
  • To facilitate the genetic mapping of 27 microclones from this library, we divided a 56-cM segment of chromosome 1 between the Col3a1 and Ren 1,2 genes into eight intervals defined by anchor loci [3].
  • Therefore, the mouse loci Col3a1 and Col6a3 are identified as flanking markers of the linkage group of structural protein loci [4].
  • The proposed gene order of this group of linked markers is centromere - Col3a1 - Len-2-Fn-1-Vil-Acrg-Col6a3-Ren1,2 [4].
 

Biological context of Col3a1

 

Anatomical context of Col3a1

  • These data indicate that sequences from -96 to +16bp of the Col3a1 promoter play an important role in the upregulated expression of this gene in Tsk2/+ fibroblasts and that the promoter contains sequences which bind the trans-acting nuclear factors, Sp1(like) and NF-1(like) [5].
