The COL9A3 gene is a type of collagen gene that encodes for the alpha 3 chain of type IX collagen. Type IX collagen is a type of fibril-associated collagen with interrupted triple helices (FACIT) collagen, which is a component of cartilage and other connective tissues.
COL9A3 has been identified as a potential tumor suppressor gene in breast cancer, with reduced expression levels observed in breast cancer tissues.
