COL17A1 encodes the alpha chain of type XVII collagen. Unlike most collagens, collagen XVII is a transmembrane protein. Collagen XVII is a structural component of hemidesmosomes, multiprotein complexes at the dermal-epidermal basement membrane zone that mediate adhesion of keratinocytes to the underlying membrane. Mutations in this gene are associated with both generalized atrophic benign and junctional epidermolysis bullosa. Two homotrimeric forms of type XVII collagen exist. The full length form is the transmembrane protein. A soluble form, referred to as either ectodomain or LAD-1, is generated by proteolytic processing of the full length form. 蛋白别名为：COL17A1; BP180; BPAG2; Collagen alpha-1(XVII) chain; 180 kDa bullous pemphigoid antigen 2; Bullous pemphigoid antigen 2;基因ID为：1308；蛋白质ID:Q9UMD9
应用类型
