Type VII collagen gene expression by cultured human cells and in fetal skin. Abundant mRNA and protein levels in epidermal keratinocytes.
1 Jan 1992
Abstract excerpt
Type VII collagen, a genetically distinct member of the collagen family, is present in the cutaneous basement membrane zone as an integral component of the anchoring fibrils. We have recently isolated several cDNAs that correspond to human type VII collagen sequences. One of these cDNAs (clone K-131) was utilized to examine type VII collagen gene expression in cultures of human cells by Northern analyses, in situ...
