Anticorps Collagen III

Collagen type III occurs in most soft connective tissues along with type I collagen. Involved in regulation of cortical development. Is the major ligand of ADGRG1 in the developing brain and binding to ADGRG1 inhibits neuronal migration and activates the RhoA pathway by coupling ADGRG1 to GNA13 and possibly GNA12.

This gene encodes the pro-alpha1 chains of type III collagen, a fibrillar collagen that is found in extensible connective tissues such as skin, lung, uterus, intestine and the vascular system, frequently in association with type I collagen. Mutations in this gene are associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome types IV, and with aortic and arterial aneurysms. Two transcripts, resulting from the use of alternate polyadenylation signals, have been identified for this gene.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, vascular type: A severe form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a group of connective tissue disorders characterized by skin hyperextensibility, articular hypermobility, and tissue fragility. EDSVASC is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by joint and dermal manifestations as in other forms of the syndrome, and by proneness to spontaneous rupture of bowel and large arteries. The vascular complications may affect all anatomical areas.

Polymicrogyria with or without vascular-type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome: An autosomal recessive disorder with a highly variable phenotype and onset in early childhood. Disease features include cobblestone-like malformation of the cortex, polymicrogyria, intellectual and motor developmental delay, small joint hypermobility, vascular fragility, aneurysms, thin translucent skin and easy bruising, congenital heart defects, and foot deformities. Early death due to vascular dissection may occur.

Belongs to the fibrillar collagen family.

Proline residues at the third position of the tripeptide repeating unit (G-X-Y) are hydroxylated in some or all of the chains.
