Research News and Information

Definition of 'Collagen Type V'

A fibrillar collagen found widely distributed as a minor component in tissues that contain COLLAGEN TYPE I and COLLAGEN TYPE III. It is a heterotrimeric molecule composed of alpha1(V), alpha2(V) and alpha3(V) subunits. Several forms of collagen type V exist depending upon the composition of the subunits that form the trimer.

Common names: Collagen Type V; Type V Collagen; Collagen, Type V; Collagen Type V, alpha3 Subunit; Collagen Type V, alpha3 Chain; Collagen alpha3(V); Collagen Type V, alpha2 Subunit; Collagen Type V, alpha2 Chain; Collagen alpha2(V); Procollagen Type V; Type V Procollagen; Procollagen, Type V

Molecular mechanisms of classical Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS).

30 May 2009 Classical Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a heritable disorder characterized by joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and abnormal wound healing. The majority of affected individuals have alterations in 1 of the 2 type V collagen genes, ... Read more...


Attenuation of alpha1 collagen production with antisense ribonucleic acid in cultured hypertrophic scar fibroblasts.

29 Apr 2009 BACKGROUND: It has been demonstrated that hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (HSFs) overexpress collagen messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and protein, especially alpha1 collagen. Antisense nucleic acids are effective in inhibiting harmful or ... Read more...


COL5A1 signal peptide mutations interfere with protein secretion and cause classic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

30 Jan 2009 Classic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a heritable connective tissue disease characterized by skin hyperextensibility, atrophic scarring, joint hypermobility and generalized tissue fragility. Mutations in COL5A1 and COL5A2, encoding the type V ... Read more...
