Collagen, type X, alpha 1

Collagen alpha-1(X) chain is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is a member of the is_associated_with::collagen family encoded by the COL10A1 is_associated_with::gene.

DDR2 is a is_associated_with::collagen receptor for it.

Recent studies into the early detection of is_associated_with::colon cancer have identified COL10A1 protein levels in serum as a potential diagnostic is_associated_with::biomarker candidate to detect both adenoma lesions and tumor.
