Collagen Type VII Polyclonal antibody

COL7A1, also named as LC collagen, is a stratified squamous epithelial basement membrane protein that forms anchoring fibrils which may contribute to epithelial basement membrane organization and adherence by interacting with extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins such as type IV collagen. Defects in COL7A1 are the cause of epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica (DEB). Defects in COL7A1 are the cause of epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica Pasini type (P-DEB) which also known as albopapuloid dominant dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. Defects in COL7A1 are the cause of epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica Hallopeau-Siemens type (HS-DEB). Defects in COL7A1 are the cause of transient bullous dermolysis of the newborn (TBDN). Defects in COL7A1 are the cause of epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica pretibial type (PR-DEB). Defects in COL7A1 are the cause of epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica Bart type (B-DEB). Defects in COL7A1 are the cause of epidermolysis bullosa pruriginosa (EBP). Defects in COL7A1 are the cause of isolated toenail dystrophy without skin fragility. Defects in COL7A1 are the cause of epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica with subcorneal cleavage (EBDSC) which also known as epidermolysis bullosa simplex superficialis (EBSS). This antibody is specific to COL7A1.
