Expression in connective tissue and extracellular matrix positivity in several different tissue types.
ANTIBODY IHC RELIABILITY
Data reliability description
Secreted protein, tissue location of RNA and protein might differ and correlation is complex. Antibody staining in cells/structures not annotated, view images.
A subset of tumor cells in a few cases of squamous cell carcinomas of cervix showed strong granular cytoplasmic staining. Few cases of squamous cell carcinomas of head and neck along with occasional cases of melanomas and urothelial cancers displayed moderate to strong positivity. Few cases of basal cell carcinomas of skin exhibited moderate staining. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.

Description
Collagen, type V, alpha 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes an alpha chain for one of the low abundance fibrillar collagens. Fibrillar collagen molecules are trimers that can be composed of one or more types of alpha chains. Type V collagen is found in tissues containing type I collagen and appears to regulate the assembly of heterotypic fibers composed of both type I and type V collagen. This gene product is closely related to type XI collagen and it is possible that the collagen chains of types V and XI constitute a single collagen type with tissue-specific chain combinations. The encoded procollagen protein occurs commonly as the heterotrimer pro-alpha1(V)-pro-alpha1(V)-pro-alpha2(V). Mutations in this gene are associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, types I and II. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
