Production of Neoepitopes by Dynamic Structural Changes on BP180/Type XVII Collagen [PDF]

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2017
Linear IgA bullous dermatosis is characterized by IgA autoantibodies reactive with LAD-1 and LABD97, truncated forms of BP180 (type XVII collagen), but not with full-length BP180. Toyonaga et al. determined that cleavage within both the C-terminal region and NC16A domain plays a role in exposure of neoepitopes on the 15th collagenous domain of BP180.

Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa: Allelic Heterogeneity and Mutation Stratification for Precision Medicine

Frontiers in Medicine, 2019
Junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) is a hereditary blistering disease caused by reduced dermal-epidermal adhesion due to deficiencies of one of the proteins, laminin-332, type XVII collagen, integrin α6β4 or integrin α3. Significant progress has been

Recombinant Type XVII Collagen Inhibits EGFR/MAPK/AP-1 and Activates TGF-β/Smad Signaling to Enhance Collagen Secretion and Reduce Photoaging

Cosmetics
Studies have consistently shown that long-wave ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation triggers skin photoaging, which is evident as reduced elasticity, a loss of firmness, and signs of aging.

Autoimmunity against laminin 332

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Laminin 332 is a heterotrimeric structural protein of the basal membrane zone (BMZ) of the skin and adjacent mucosal tissues. The importance of laminin 332 for the structural integrity of the BMZ is demonstrated by mutations in any of the three genes ...
