Collagen alpha-3(IV) chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COL4A3 gene. [5] [6] Type IV collagen, the major structural component of basement membranes, is a multimeric protein composed of 3 alpha subunits; this gene encodes the alpha 3 subunit. These subunits are encoded by 6 different genes, alpha 1 through alpha 6, each of which ...
The COL3A1 gene is located on the long (q) arm of chromosome 2 at 2q32.2, between positions 188 974 372 and 189 012 745. The gene has 51 exons and is approximately 40 kbp long. [7] The COL3A1 gene is in tail-to-tail orientation with a gene for another fibrillar collagen, namely COL5A2. [7]
Collagen alpha-3(VI) chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COL6A3 gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] This protein is an alpha chain of type VI collagen that aids in microfibril formation. [ 8 ] As part of type VI collagen, this protein has been implicated in Bethlem myopathy, Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD), and other diseases ...
Collagen alpha-3(V) chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COL5A3 gene. [5] [6] 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.

Collagen is also abundant in corneas, blood vessels, the gut, intervertebral discs, and the dentin in teeth. [3] In muscle tissue, it serves as a major component of the endomysium. Collagen constitutes 1% to 2% of muscle tissue and 6% by weight of skeletal muscle. [4] The fibroblast is the most common cell creating collagen in animals.
Collagen IV (ColIV or Col4) is a type of collagen found primarily in the basal lamina. The collagen IV C4 domain at the C-terminus is not removed in post-translational processing, and the fibers link head-to-head, rather than in parallel. Also, collagen IV lacks the regular glycine in every third residue necessary for the tight, collagen helix ...
The COL11A1 gene encodes one of the two alpha chains of type XI collagen, a minor fibrillar collagen. Type XI collagen is a heterotrimer but the third alpha chain is a post-translationally modified alpha 1 type II chain. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [6]
