GeneID: 80781 Human COL18A1

Swiss-port # P39060 Human Collagen alpha-1(XVIII) chain

Gene Symbol COL18A1
Gene Full Name collagen, type XVIII, alpha 1
Background This gene encodes the alpha chain of type XVIII collagen. This collagen is one of the multiplexins, extracellular matrix proteins that contain multiple triple-helix domains (collagenous domains) interrupted by non-collagenous domains. A long isoform of the protein has an N-terminal domain that is homologous to the extracellular part of frizzled receptors. Proteolytic processing at several endogenous cleavage sites in the C-terminal domain results in production of endostatin, a potent antiangiogenic protein that is able to inhibit angiogenesis and tumor growth. Mutations in this gene are associated with Knobloch syndrome. The main features of this syndrome involve retinal abnormalities, so type XVIII collagen may play an important role in retinal structure and in neural tube closure. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]
Function Probably plays a major role in determining the retinal structure as well as in the closure of the neural tube.

[Non-collagenous domain 1]: May regulate extracellular matrix-dependent motility and morphogenesis of endothelial and non-endothelial cells; the function requires homotrimerization and implicates MAPK signaling.

Endostatin: Potently inhibits endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis (PubMed:9459295). May inhibit angiogenesis by binding to the heparan sulfate proteoglycans involved in growth factor signaling (By similarity). Inhibits VEGFA-induced endothelial cell proliferation and migration. Seems to inhibit VEGFA-mediated signaling by blocking the interaction of VEGFA to its receptor KDR/VEGFR2. Modulates endothelial cell migration in an integrin-dependent manner implicating integrin ITGA5:ITGB1 and to a lesser extent ITGAV:ITGB3 and ITGAV:ITGB5 (By similarity). May negatively regulate the activity of homotrimeric non-collagenous domain 1 (PubMed:11257123). [UniProt]

    Immunofluorescence: Formalin-fixed MCF7 cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were stained with ARG66732 anti-COL18A1 antibody (red) in 3% BSA-PBS and incubated overnight at 4°C. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with a DyLight 594-conjugated secondary antibody in PBS at room temperature in the dark. DAPI (blue) for nuclear staining.
