May play a role in organization of the pericellular matrix or the sphinteric smooth muscle. Belongs to the fibril-associated collagens with interrupted helices (FACIT) family. (1142 aa) | ||||
| FURIN | Furin; Ubiquitous endoprotease within constitutive secretory pathways capable of cleavage at the RX(K/R)R consensus motif. Mediates processing of TGFB1, an essential step in TGF-beta-1 activation. (Microbial infection) Required for H7N1 and H5N1 influenza virus infection probably by cleaving hemagglutinin. (794 aa) | ||||
| COL9A3 | Collagen alpha-3(IX) chain; Structural component of hyaline cartilage and vitreous of the eye. (684 aa) | ||||
| COL17A1 | 120 kDa linear IgA disease antigen; May play a role in the integrity of hemidesmosome and the attachment of basal keratinocytes to the underlying basement membrane. (1497 aa) | ||||
