| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable heparin binding activity. Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring tensile strength. Predicted to be involved in extracellular matrix organization and hemidesmosome assembly. Located in hemidesmosome. Is expressed in several structures, including esophagus; genitourinary system; oral epithelium; sensory organ; and skin. Used to study bullous pemphigoid and junctional epidermolysis bullosa non-Herlitz type. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in epithelial recurrent erosion dystrophy and junctional epidermolysis bullosa. Orthologous to human COL17A1 (collagen type XVII alpha 1 chain). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are unable to reproduce and display postnatal growth retardation, blisters and erosion at sites of trauma, nonpigmented hair growth associated with hair loss, subepidermal blistering associated with poorly formed hemidesmosomes, and high postnatal lethality.
