Collagen type IV alpha 3 chain (COL4A3) gene with 52 exons, codes for the α3 chain of type IV collagen. COL4A3 protein is the vital structural protein in the basement membrane. COL4A3 gene is located on human chromosome 2q36.3. Anti-Collagen IV α3 (cleaved-pro1426) antibody detects endogenous levels of fragment of activated collagen IV α3 (cleaved-pro1426) protein.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human Collagen IV alpha3.
Immunogen Range: 1407-1456
Biochem/physiol Actions
Type IV collagen plays a key role in cell adhesion, proliferation, migration, survival, and differentiation. It maintains the assembly and mechanical stability by acting as a scaffold. Collagen type IV alpha 3 chain (COL4A3) mutations are associated with Alport syndrome (AS). Heterozygous mutations in the COL4A4 gene are observed in individuals with benign familial hematuria (BFH). Alterations in the COL4A3 gene also result in diabetic kidney disease from maturity-onset diabetes.

Mutations in either the COL4A3 or the COL4A4 genes, encoding the alpha3 and alpha4 chains of type IV collagen, are responsible for the autosomal-recessive form of Alport syndrome, a progressive hematuric nephropathy characterized by glomerular basement membrane abnormalities. Reported here
Alport syndrome is an inherited renal disorder characterized by glomerular basement membrane lesions with hematuria, proteinuria and frequent hearing defects and ocular abnormalities. The disease is associated with mutations in genes encoding α3, α4, or α5 chains of type IV
Mutations in the COL4A3 gene are frequently reported to be associated with various types of hereditary nephropathy. COL4A3 encodes the α3 chain of type IV collagen, which is the main structural protein in the basement membrane. Mutations in this gene
Pancreatic cancer shows a highly aggressive and infiltrative growth pattern and is characterized by an abundant tumor stroma known to interact with the cancer cells, and to influence tumor growth and drug resistance. Cancer cells actively take part in the
