Recombinant Human Collagen alpha-1 (V) chain (COL5A1), Truncated

Uniprot Id

P20908

Target Species

Human

Target Name

COL5A1

Target Full Name

Collagen alpha-1(V) chain

Target Function

Type V collagen is a member of group I collagen (fibrillar forming collagen). It is a minor connective tissue component of nearly ubiquitous distribution. Type V collagen binds to DNA, heparan sulfate, thrombospondin, heparin, and insulin.

Target Involvement

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, classic type (EDS)

Target Subcellular Location

Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix.

Target Protein Families

Fibrillar collagen family

Target Background

This gene encodes an alpha chain for one of the low abundance fibrillar collagens. Fibrillar collagen molecules are trimers that can be composed of one or more types of alpha chains. Type V collagen is found in tissues containing type I collagen and appears to regulate the assembly of heterotypic fibers composed of both type I and type V collagen. This gene product is closely related to type XI collagen and it is possible that the collagen chains of types V and XI constitute a single collagen type with tissue-specific chain combinations. The encoded procollagen protein occurs commonly as the heterotrimer pro-alpha1(V)-pro-alpha1(V)-pro-alpha2(V). Mutations in this gene are associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, types I and II. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
