Function | May play a role in the integrity of hemidesmosome and the attachment of basal keratinocytes to the underlying basement membrane. |
Cellular Location | Cell junction, hemidesmosome. Membrane; Single- pass type II membrane protein. Note=Localized along the plasma membrane of the hemidesmosome [97 kDa linear IgA disease antigen]: Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix, basement membrane Note=Localized in the lamina lucida beneath the hemidesmosomes |
Tissue Location | Detected in skin (PubMed:8618013). In the cornea, it is detected in the epithelial basement membrane, the epithelial cells, and at a lower level in stromal cells (at protein level) (PubMed:25676728). Stratified squamous epithelia. Found in hemidesmosomes. Expressed in cornea, oral mucosa, esophagus, intestine, kidney collecting ducts, ureter, bladder, urethra and thymus but is absent in lung, blood vessels, skeletal muscle and nerves |

Background
COL17A1 encodes the alpha chain of type XVII collagen. Unlike most collagens, collagen XVII is a transmembrane protein. Collagen XVII is a structural component of hemidesmosomes, multiprotein complexes at the dermal-epidermal basement membrane zone that mediate adhesion of keratinocytes to the underlying membrane.
