| 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] |
