Type VII collagen in Alport syndrome [PDF]
Absence or segmental distribution of the alpha5(IV) collagen chain along the epidermal basement membrane (EBM) is diagnostic of X-linked Alport syndrome (X-AS), but the typical morphologic alterations usually observed along the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) are lacking. However, several differences in protein composition exist between GBM and EBM,

The Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita Antigen (Type VII Collagen) is Present in Human Colon and Patients with Crohn's Disease have Autoantibodies to Type VII Collagen [PDF]
Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita is an autoimmune blistering disease of the skin characterized by IgG autoantibodies against type VII collagen. Systemic diseases are often associated with epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, Crohn's disease being the most frequent.

Laminin 5 Binds the NC-1 Domain of Type VII Collagen [PDF]
Mutational analyses of genes that encode components of the anchoring complex underlying the basolateral surface of external epithelia indicate that this structure is the major element providing for resistance to external friction. Ultrastructurally, laminin 5 (α3β3γ2; a component of the anchoring filament) appears as a thin filament bridging the ...

The potential role of collagen type VII in breast cancer proliferation
Background Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Cancer cells can persist in a prolonged dormant state for years without any clinical evidence of disease creating an urgent need to better understand the molecular mechanisms leading to relapse.

CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Generation of COL7A1-Deficient Keratinocyte Model of Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa [PDF]
Objective: Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a genetic skin fragility and ultimately lethal blisteringdisease caused by mutations in the COL7A1 gene which is responsible for coding type VII collagen.

Immunohistochemical localization of collagen types I and VI in human skin wounds [PDF]
A total of 74 human skin wounds were investigated and collagen types I and VI were localized in the wound area by immunohistochemistry. Collagen type I appeared in the form of ramifying string-like structures after approximately 5–6 days, but positive ...
