| UniProt functional annotation for Q7SIB2 | |||
| UniProt code: Q7SIB2. |
| Organism: | Bos taurus (Bovine). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Artiodactyla; Ruminantia; Pecora; Bovidae; Bovinae; Bos. | |
| Function: | Type IV collagen is the major structural component of glomerular basement membranes (GBM), forming a 'chicken-wire' meshwork together with laminins, proteoglycans and entactin/nidogen. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02463}. | |
| Function: | Arresten, comprising the C-terminal NC1 domain, inhibits angiogenesis and tumor formation. The C-terminal half is found to possess the anti-angiogenic activity. Specifically inhibits endothelial cell proliferation, migration and tube formation. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02462}. | |
| Subunit: | There are six type IV collagen isoforms, alpha 1(IV)-alpha 6(IV), each of which can form a triple helix structure with 2 other chains to generate type IV collagen network. Interacts with EFEMP2 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02463, ECO:0000305|PubMed:11970952}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix, basement membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02463}. | |
| Domain: | Alpha chains of type IV collagen have a non-collagenous domain (NC1) at their C-terminus, frequent interruptions of the G-X-Y repeats in the long central triple-helical domain (which may cause flexibility in the triple helix), and a short N-terminal triple-helical 7S domain. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Ptm: | Lysines at the third position of the tripeptide repeating unit (G- X-Y) are hydroxylated in all cases. The modified lysines can be O- glycosylated. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02462}. | |
| Ptm: | Contains 4-hydroxyproline. Prolines at the third position of the tripeptide repeating unit (G-X-Y) are hydroxylated in some or all of the chains. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02462}. | |
| Ptm: | Contains 3-hydroxyproline (PubMed:24368846). This modification occurs on the first proline residue in the sequence motif Gly-Pro-Hyp, where Hyp is 4-hydroxyproline (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02463, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24368846}. | |
| Ptm: | Type IV collagens contain numerous cysteine residues which are involved in inter- and intramolecular disulfide bonding. 12 of these, located in the NC1 domain, are conserved in all known type IV collagens. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02462}. | |
| Ptm: | The trimeric structure of the NC1 domains is stabilized by covalent bonds (sulfilimine cross-links) between Lys and Met residues (PubMed:19729652). These cross-links are important for the mechanical stability of the basement membrane (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02463, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19729652}. | |
| Ptm: | Proteolytic processing produces the C-terminal NC1 peptide, arresten. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02462}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the type IV collagen family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00736}. | |
