GeneID: 1308 Human COL17A1

Swiss-port # Q9UMD9 Human Collagen alpha-1(XVII) chain

Gene Symbol COL17A1
Gene Full Name collagen, type XVII, alpha 1
Background This gene 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.

Function May play a role in the integrity of hemidesmosome and the attachment of basal keratinocytes to the underlying basement membrane.

The 120 kDa linear IgA disease antigen is an anchoring filament component involved in dermal-epidermal cohesion. Is the target of linear IgA bullous dermatosis autoantibodies. [UniProt]
Cellular Localization Cell junction, hemidesmosome. Membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Note=Localized along the plasma membrane of the hemidesmosome. 120 kDa linear IgA disease antigen: Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix, basement membrane. Note=Exclusively localized to anchoring filaments. Localized to the epidermal side of split skin. 97 kDa linear IgA disease antigen: Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix, basement membrane. [UniProt]
Calculated MW 150 kDa
PTM The intracellular/endo domain is disulfide-linked.

Prolines at the third position of the tripeptide repeating unit (G-X-Y) are hydroxylated in some or all of the chains.

The ectodomain is shedded from the surface of keratinocytes resulting in a 120-kDa soluble form, also named as 120 kDa linear IgA disease antigen. The shedding is mediated by membrane-bound metalloproteases. This cleavage is inhibited by phosphorylation at Ser-544. [UniProt]

    Flow Cytometry: A431 cells were fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde (10 min) and then permeabilized with 90% methanol for 10 min. The cells were then incubated in 2% BSA to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by ARG59492 anti-Collagen XVII antibody (right histogram) at 1:25 dilution for 60 min at 37°C, followed by DyLight®488 labelled secondary antibody. Isotype control antibody (left histogram) was rabbit IgG (1 µg/10^6 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of > 10000 events was performed.
