This gene encodes one of the six subunits of type IV
collagen, the major structural component of basement membranes.
Like the other members of the type IV collagen gene family, this
gene is organized in a head-to-head conformation with another type
IV collagen gene, alpha 5 type IV collagen, so that the gene pair
shares a common promoter. Deletions in the alpha 5 gene that extend
into the alpha 6 gene result in diffuse leiomyomatosis accompanying
the X-linked Alport syndrome caused by the deletion in the alpha 5
gene. Two splice variants have been identified for this gene.1) Romero, R., et al. Am. J. Obstet. Gynecol. (2010) In press :
