COL6A3 (Collagen alpha-3(VI) chain) is a gene whose normal job is to hold cell growth in check. The public catalogues list it as a drug target and a tumour suppressor, and an approved or late-stage drug is recorded against it. Tied to Melanoma. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
