Background Information
COL4A1 (Collagen Type IV Alpha 1 Chain) encodes a major component of type IV collagen, which is an essential structural element of basement membranes in various tissues. COL4A1 forms heterotrimers with other collagen type IV chains (e.g., COL4A2) and interacts with extracellular matrix components such as laminins, proteoglycans, and perlecans. Proteolytic cleavage of the non-collagenous domain of COL4A1 produces a fragment called arresten, which has anti-angiogenic and tumor suppressor properties. Elevated expression of COL4A1 has been observed in various cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), where it promotes tumor growth and metastasis through the FAK-Src signaling pathway. COL4A1 is highly expressed in various tissues, including the placenta, fat, and other organs. The expression of COL4A1 can be regulated by transcription factors such as RUNX1, which has been shown to upregulate COL4A1 in hepatocellular carcinoma.
