COL3A1
COL3A1 (Collagen Type III Alpha 1 Chain) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with COL3A1 include Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Vascular Type and Acrogeria, Gottron Type. Among its related pathways are Integrin Pathway and ERK Signaling. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include integrin binding and SMAD binding. An important paralog of this gene is COL2A1.
Full Name
Collagen Type III Alpha 1 Chain
Alternative Names
Collagen Type III Alpha 1 Chain; Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type IV, Autosomal Dominant; Collagen, Type III, Alpha 1; Collagen Alpha-1(III) Chain; Alpha-1 Type III Collagen; Alpha1 (III) Collagen; Collagen, Fetal; EDSVASC; EDS4A;
Function
Collagen type III occurs in most soft connective tissues along with type I collagen. Involved in regulation of cortical development. Is the major ligand of ADGRG1 in the developing brain and binding to ADGRG1 inhibits neuronal migration and activates the RhoA pathway by coupling ADGRG1 to GNA13 and possibly GNA12.

Involvement in disease
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, vascular type (EDSVASC):
A severe form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a group of connective tissue disorders characterized by skin hyperextensibility, articular hypermobility, and tissue fragility. EDSVASC is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by joint and dermal manifestations as in other forms of the syndrome, and by proneness to spontaneous rupture of bowel and large arteries. The vascular complications may affect all anatomical areas.
Polymicrogyria with or without vascular-type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (PMGEDSV):
An autosomal recessive disorder with a highly variable phenotype and onset in early childhood. Disease features include cobblestone-like malformation of the cortex, polymicrogyria, intellectual and motor developmental delay, small joint hypermobility, vascular fragility, aneurysms, thin translucent skin and easy bruising, congenital heart defects, and foot deformities. Early death due to vascular dissection may occur.
PTM
Proline residues at the third position of the tripeptide repeating unit (G-X-Y) are hydroxylated in some or all of the chains.
O-linked glycan consists of a Glc-Gal disaccharide bound to the oxygen atom of a post-translationally added hydroxyl group.
