Disease relevance of COL5A2

 

High impact information on COL5A2

  • Mutations in the COL5A1 and COL5A2 genes, which encode type V collagen, have been identified in several individuals [3].
  • Our findings show that heterozygous mutations of the COL5A2 gene can produce the EDS type I phenotype [4].
  • Cell type-specific expression of the human alpha2(V) collagen (COL5A2) gene depends on a cis-acting element that consists of two contiguous protein binding sites (FPA and FPB) located between nucleotides -149 and -95, relative to the transcription start site [5].
  • The transcriptional features of the human alpha 2(V) collagen gene (COL5A2) were examined by transfection experiments coupled to various DNA binding assays [6].
  • Identification of an upstream regulatory region essential for cell type-specific transcription of the pro-alpha 2(V) collagen gene (COL5A2) [6].
 

Biological context of COL5A2

 

Anatomical context of COL5A2

 

Regulatory relationships of COL5A2

  • An analysis of other collagens showed that COL5A2 was not expressed in normal colon but was co-expressed with COL11A1 in the tumours [2].
 

Other interactions of COL5A2

  • We report here on the complete structure of the human COL3A1 and COL5A2 genes [10].
  • An additional mutation in either the COL5A1 and COL5A2 genes was excluded [11].
  • Accordingly the exon/intron arrangement of the amino-propeptide coding domain was compared among pro-alpha 1(I) (COL1A1), pro alpha 1(II) (COL2A1), pro-alpha 1(III) (CO13A1) and pro-alpha 2(V) (COL5A2) collagen genes [12].
  • These genes include a cluster of two genes coding for fibrillar collagens COL3A1 and COL5A2, and a third member of the collagen gene family: COL6A3 [13].
  • Colorectal carcinogenesis is associated with stromal expression of COL11A1 and COL5A2 [2].
