Trial size COL17A1 antibodies available in the Antibody Validation Project
Introduction:
Collagen type 17 alpha 1 chain is the protein synthesised by the COL17A1 gene and mediating adhesion of keratinocytes by being a part of the hemidesmosomes. COL17A1 can be localised in the plasma membrane soon to be secreted in the ER and in several tissues, immune cells and regions throughout the human body and mutations in this gene lead to several skin-related diseases and human cancers. We provide a number of trial sized antibodies, which are suitable for COL17A1 research purposes, and to help you make the right decision and find the best suited antibody for you, please find the answers to some of the key topics regarding COL17A1 that we have provided in the links below.

What is COL17A1?
This gene encodes the alpha chain of type 17 collagen, but unlike most collagens, collagen 17 is a transmembrane protein. Collagen 17 is a structural component of hemidesmosomes, multiprotein complexes at the dermal-epidermal basement membrane zone that mediate adhesion of keratinocytes to the underlying membrane.
Where is COL17A1 found?
COL17A1 is located in the plasma membrane and Golgi apparatus and is believed to be secreted to the extracellular matrix. Furthermore, it is more expressed in placenta, skin and tongue in comparison with other tissues and has enriched human brain region, which is the basal ganglia. Apart from that, inside the immune system it is mainly found in neutrophil.
What role does COL17A1 play in disease?
Mutations in this gene are associated with both generalized atrophic benign and junctional epidermolysis bullosa. in relation, several other disorders are associated with COL17A1, a couple of them being Nail Disorder, Nonsyndromic Congenital, 4 and Epithelial Recurrent Erosion Dystrophy.
