Background
This gene 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. Mutations in this gene are associated with both generalized atrophic benign and junctional epidermolysis bullosa. Two homotrimeric forms of type XVII collagen exist. The full length form is the transmembrane protein. A soluble form, referred to as either ectodomain or LAD-1, is generated by proteolytic processing of the full length form.

Function
disease:Defects in COL17A1 are a cause of generalized atrophic benign epidermolysis bullosa (GABEB) [MIM:226650]. GABEB is a non-lethal, adult form of junctional epidermolysis bullosa characterized by life-long blistering of the skin, associated with hair and tooth abnormalities.,function:May play a role in the integrity of hemidesmosome and the attachment of basal keratinocytes to the underlying basement membrane.,function:The 120 kDa linear IgA disease antigen is an anchoring filament component involved in dermal-epidermal cohesion. Is the target of linear IgA bullous dermatosis autoantibodies.,miscellaneous:Both the 120 kDa linear IgA disease antigen and the 97 kDa linear IgA disease antigen of COL17A1, represent major antigenic targets of autoantibodies in patients with linear IgA disease (LAD). LAD is a subepidermal blistering disorder characterized by tissue-bound and circulating I
