Gene structure and procollagen type !1(I)

The 52 exons of the COL1A1 gene correspond to
the different domains (A to G) of procollagen
!1(I). The COL1A2 gene for procollagen !2(I) is
about twice as large (~ 40 kb) as the COL1A1
gene because the introns between the exons are
on average twice as long as in COL1A1.
