This gene encodes one of the two alpha chains of type VIII
collagen. The gene product is a short chain collagen and a major
component of the basement membrane of the corneal endothelium. The
type VIII collagen fibril can be either a homo- or a heterotrimer.
Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same isoform
have been observed.1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care 33(10):2250-2253(2010)
