Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * Colinearity: COL9A2 is a member of the collagen family of proteins, which are essential for the structure and integrity of tissues. * Structure: The gene encodes for a secreted form of collagen type IX, which is a large extracellular matrix protein. * Expression: COL9A2 is highly expressed in various cell types, including non-pigmented ciliary epithelial cells, secondary lens fibers, pigmented epithelial cells, lens epithelial cells, kidney collecting duct principal cells, Mueller cells, oligodendrocytes, and anterior lens cells. * Functions: * Assembly of collagen fibrils and other multimeric structures. * Axon guidance. * Collagen biosynthesis and modifying enzymes. * Collagen chain trimerization. * Collagen degradation. * Collagen formation. * Degradation of the extracellular matrix. **Pathways and functions:** COL9A2 plays crucial roles in various pathways and functions, including: * Assembly of collagen fibrils and other multimeric structures: COL9A2 is a key component of collagen fibrils, which provide structural support and elasticity to tissues. * Axon guidance: COL9A2 is involved in axon guidance, where it helps to maintain the integrity of neural processes and their interactions with the surrounding environment. * Collagen biosynthesis and modifying enzymes: COL9A2 is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of collagen, and its deficiency leads to the development of elastic disorders. * Signal transduction: COL9A2 is a signaling molecule that is involved in various cellular processes, including cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. **Clinical significance:** Mutations in COL9A2 have been linked to several human diseases, including: * Dry eyes: Mutations in COL9A2 are a common cause of dry eyes, a condition characterized by a lack of tears and a dry, itchy feeling in the eyes. * Cataracts: Mutations in COL9A2 are also associated with cataracts, a clouding of the lens that can lead to vision loss. * Optic nerves diseases: Mutations in COL9A2 are a rare cause of optic nerve diseases, such as glaucoma and retinal detachment.
