常规信息

功能

Type IV collagen is the major structural component of glomerular basement membranes (GBM), forming a 'chicken-wire' meshwork together with laminins, proteoglycans and entactin/nidogen.. Arresten, comprising the C-terminal NC1 domain, inhibits angiogenesis and tumor formation. The C-terminal half is found to possess the anti-angiogenic activity. Specifically inhibits endothelial cell proliferation, migration and tube formation.

序列相似性

Belongs to the type IV collagen family.

Lysines at the third position of the tripeptide repeating unit (G-X-Y) are hydroxylated. The modified lysines can be O-glycosylated.. Contains 4-hydroxyproline (Probable). Prolines at the third position of the tripeptide repeating unit (G-X-Y) are hydroxylated in some or all of the chains (By similarity).. Contains 3-hydroxyproline. This modification occurs on the first proline residue in the sequence motif Gly-Pro-Hyp, where Hyp is 4-hydroxyproline.. Type IV collagens contain numerous cysteine residues which are involved in inter- and intramolecular disulfide bonding (PubMed:2844531). 12 of these, located in the NC1 domain, are conserved in all known type IV collagens.. The trimeric structure of the NC1 domains is stabilized by covalent bonds (sulfilimine cross-links) between Lys and Met residues (PubMed:12011424). These cross-links are important for the mechanical stability of the basement membrane (By similarity). Sulfilimine cross-link is catalyzed by PXDN (By similarity).. Proteolytic processing produces the C-terminal NC1 peptide, arresten.
