General Information
Biological Significance
Collagen alpha-1(X) chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COL10A1 gene. This gene encodes the alpha chain of type X collagen, a short chain collagen expressed by hypertrophic chondrocytes during endochondral ossification. Unlike type VIII collagen, the other short chain collagen, type X collagen is a homotrimer.
