Rabbit Anti-COL6A5/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The protein encoded by this gene is a collagen that contains N- and SLCterminal von Willebrand factor A-like domains. The encoded protein may interact with the alpha 1 and alpha 2 chains of collagen VI to form the complete collagen VI trimer. Sequence polymorphisms in this gene have been linked to atopic dermatitis (eczema). Two transcript variants, one protein-coding and the other probably not protein-coding, have been found for this gene.
Function:
Collagen VI acts as a cell-binding protein.
Subunit:
Trimers composed of three different chains: alpha-1(VI), alpha-2(VI), and alpha-3(VI) or alpha-5(VI) or alpha-6(VI)
Subcellular Location:
Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix. Note=Deposed in the extracellular matrix of skeletal muscle.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in skin, followed by lung, small intestine, colon and testis. In skin, it is expressed in the epidermis with strongest staining in suprabasal viable layers. In ATOD patients, it is absent in the most differentiated upper spinous and granular layers (at protein level).
Post-translational modifications:
Prolines at the third position of the tripeptide repeating unit (G-X-Y) are hydroxylated in some or all of the chains
DISEASE:
Note=Patients affected by atopic dermatitis display an abnormal distribution of COL29A1 mRNA and protein in skin suggesting that COL29A1 may be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease.
Similarity:
Belongs to the type VI collagen family.
Contains 10 VWFA domains.
