| UniProt functional annotation for P20908 | |||
| UniProt code: P20908. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| 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. | |
| Subunit: | Trimers of two alpha 1(V) and one alpha 2(V) chains in most tissues and trimers of one alpha 1(V), one alpha 2(V), and one alpha 3(V) chains in placenta. Interacts with CSPG4. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9099729}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00793}. | |
| Domain: | The C-terminal propeptide, also known as COLFI domain, have crucial roles in tissue growth and repair by controlling both the intracellular assembly of procollagen molecules and the extracellular assembly of collagen fibrils. It binds a calcium ion which is essential for its function (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Ptm: | Prolines at the third position of the tripeptide repeating unit (G-X-Y) are hydroxylated in some or all of the chains. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2496661}. | |
| Ptm: | Sulfated on 40% of tyrosines. | |
| Disease: | Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, classic type, 1 (EDSCL1) [MIM:130000]: A form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a group of connective tissue disorders characterized by skin hyperextensibility, articular hypermobility, and tissue fragility. The main features of classic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome are joint hypermobility and dislocation, and fragile, bruisable skin. EDSCL1 inheritance is autosomal dominant. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10602121, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11992482, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580559, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18972565, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9042913}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the fibrillar collagen family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00793}. | |
