| Function | Type IV collagen is the major structural component of glomerular basement membranes (GBM), forming a 'chicken-wire' meshwork together with laminins, proteoglycans and entactin/nidogen. |
| Cellular Localization | Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix, basement membrane. Colocalizes with COL4A4 and COL4A5 in GBM, tubular basement membrane (TBM) and synaptic basal lamina (BL). |
| Development Stage | At 6 weeks post-conception (WPC) expressed in the hyaloid artery and lens capsule (at protein level). Expressed between 6 and 19 WPC in the choroid and Bruch's membrane with faint expression in the retinal pigment epithelium, outer neuroblastic zone, inner plexiform layer, and the inner neuroblastic zone (at protein level). |
| Domain | Alpha chains of type IV collagen have a non-collagenous domain (NC1) at their C-terminus, frequent interruptions of the G-X-Y repeats in the long central triple-helical domain (which may cause flexibility in the triple helix), and a short N-terminal triple-helical 7S domain. |
| Post-transcriptional Modifications | Prolines at the third position of the tripeptide repeating unit (G-X-Y) are hydroxylated in some or all of the chains. Type IV collagens contain numerous cysteine residues which are involved in inter- and intramolecular disulfide bonding. 12 of these, located in the NC1 domain, are conserved in all known type IV collagens. The trimeric structure of the NC1 domains is stabilized by covalent bonds between Lys and Met residues. |
| Involvement in Disease | Alport syndrome 2, autosomal recessive (ATS2): A syndrome characterized by progressive glomerulonephritis, glomerular basement membrane defects, renal failure, sensorineural deafness and specific eye abnormalities (lenticonous and macular flecks). The disorder shows considerable heterogeneity in that families differ in the age of end-stage renal disease and the occurrence of deafness. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Hematuria, benign familial, 1 (BFH1): An autosomal dominant condition characterized by non-progressive isolated microscopic hematuria that does not result in renal failure. It is characterized pathologically by thinning of the glomerular basement membrane. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
