Epidermolysis bullosa pruriginosa: A report of two cases
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) pruriginosa is a very rare pattern of dystrophic EB caused by type VII collagen gene mutation, with distinctive clinico-pathological features. It is characterized by nodular prurigo-like lichenified lesions, nail dystrophy, and

Detection of Type VII collagen in odontogenic keratocyst: An immunohistochemical study
Separation of the epithelial lining from the underlying connective tissue wall has been a frequently observed and unique feature in odontogenic keratocysts (OKC), but not in other odontogenic cysts nor neoplasms. No study on OKC has been reported evaluating the role of type VII Collagen, the anchoring fibrils, which function in stabilising the ...

Cylindroma Overexpresses Collagen VII, the Major Anchoring Fibril Protein
The cell clusters of the human adnexal tumor, cylindroma, are surrounded by an unusual, thick, unorganized basement membrane-like zone in vivo. Ultrastructural analysis of this electron-dense zone revealed recesses that contained numerous anchoring fibrils.

Type VII Collagen, Anchoring Fibrils, and Epidermolysis Bullosa
The anchoring fibrils at the dermal-epidermal junction have been well characterized as ultrastructural entities. From their appearance, it was proposed that they fortified the attachment of the epidermis to the dermis. This hypothesized function was strengthened by observations indicating that the anchoring fibrils were abnormal, diminished, or absent ...

Epithelial-Mesenchymal Interactions Enhance Expression of Collagen VII In Vitro
Expression of collagen VII, the major structural protein of the anchoring fibrils, was assessed in vitro using indirect immunofluorescence staining and immunoblotting of collagen VII isolated from cultures. A very low level of expression was observed in monocultures of normal human fibroblasts or keratinocytes, but the expression was greatly stimulated

TANGO1 binds and exports Procollagen VII from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In this study, we report a connection between the cytoplasmic domain of TANGO1 and SLY1, a protein that is required for membrane fusion.

TANGO1 recruits ERGIC membranes to the endoplasmic reticulum for procollagen export
Previously we showed that membrane fusion is required for TANGO1-dependent export of procollagen VII from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (Nogueira, et al., 2014).
