Background: COL4A1 (collagen type IV alpha 1 chain) encodes a type IV collagen alpha protein. Type IV collagen proteins are integral components of basement membranes. COL4A1 shares a bidirectional promoter with a paralogous gene on the opposite strand. The protein consists of an amino-terminal 7S domain, a triple-helix forming collagenous domain, and a carboxy-terminal non-collagenous domain. It functions as part of a heterotrimer and interacts with other extracellular matrix components such as perlecans, proteoglycans, and laminins. In addition, proteolytic cleavage of the non-collagenous carboxy-terminal domain results in a biologically active fragment known as arresten, which has anti-angiogenic and tumor suppressor properties. Mutations in COL4A1 cause porencephaly, cerebrovascular disease, and renal and muscular defects. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Alternative Names: Collagen alpha-1 (IV) chain [Cleaved into: Arresten]
