Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox gene Collagen alpha-2(IX) chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COL9A2 gene.[1][2][3][4]

This gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type IX collagen, the major collagen component of hyaline cartilage. Type IX collagen, a heterotrimeric molecule, is usually found in tissues containing type II collagen, a fibrillar collagen. This chain is unusual in that, unlike the other two type IX alpha chains, it contains a covalently attached glycosaminoglycan side chain. Mutations in this gene are associated with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia.[4]
