[5] This gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type VI collagen, a beaded filament collagen found in most connective tissues.

These domains have been shown to bind extracellular matrix proteins, an interaction that explains the importance of this collagen in organizing matrix components.

Mutations in this gene are associated with Bethlem myopathy 1, Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy 1, and autosomal recessive myosclerosis myopathy.
