Cloning of human type VII collagen. Complete primary sequence of the alpha 1(VII) chain and identification of intragenic polymorphisms.
1 Aug 1994
Abstract excerpt
Type VII collagen is the major, if not the exclusive, component of the anchoring fibrils, attachment structures at the dermal-epidermal basement membrane zone. In this study, we have isolated overlapping cDNA clones which correspond to full-length human type VII collagen mRNA of approximately 9.2 kilobases. The full-length cDNA sequence contains an 8,833 nucleotide open reading frame encoding 2,944 amino acids....
