Mouse Collagen alpha-1,14 chain,COL14A1 ELI

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 (By similarity).
