Collagen α-1 (XXIII) chain is a protein encoded by COL23A1 gene which is located on chromosome 5q35 in humans and on chromosome 11B1+2 in mice. The location of this gene was discovered by genomic sequence analysis.Collagen XXIII is a type II transmembrane protein and the fourth in the subfamily of non-fibrillar transmembranous collagens. This kind of collagens have a single pass hydrophobic transmembrane domain.
