Target description

Collagen type IV alpha 6 chain (UniProt: A0A0G2K601; also known as Col4a6) is encoded by the Col4a6 gene (Gene ID: 363458) in rat. The collagen super family includes over 20 different types of collagens with at least 38 distinct polypeptide chains. Of these types I, II, and III are the most abundant and are involved in the formation of fibrils. Type IV collagen forms a two-dimensional reticulum and is a major component of the basal lamina. It is a network-forming collagen that underlies epithelial and endothelial cells and functions as a barrier between tissue compartments. Type IV collagen has many binding partners and forms the backbone of the basement membrane. It also contains numerous cysteine residues that are involved in inter- and intramolecular disulfide bonding. The type IV collagen family comprises six isomeric chains, designated 1(IV) to 6(IV), each of which can form a triple helix structure with 2 other chains to generate type IV collagen network. Each type of collagen IV is a heterotrimer composed of three chains. Formation of these heterotrimers is initiated by the non-collagenous 1 (NC1) domain interactions and is accompanied by folding of the collagenous domains into triple helices. Collagen IV 6 is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-20), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form. Clone 122-2 specifically recognizes collagen IV 6 and reacts with the NC1 domain. (Ref.: Namba, M., et al. (2021). Sci. Rep. 11; 20836; Khoshnoodi, J., et al. (2008). Microsc. Res. Tech. 71(5); 357-370).
