Localization of the undulin gene (UND) to human chromosome band 8q23.
Undulin, a large extracellular matrix (ECM) mosaic glycoprotein related to collagen type XIV, is associated with dense collagen matrices in soft tissues and is likely to be involved in the supramolecular organization of interstitial collagens. By fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), we have assigned the undulin locus (UND) to band q23 of human chromosome 8.
