GlossaryCollagen XVII (COL17)

protein crucial for skin structure and integrity

Collagen XVII, also known as COL17 or BP180, is a type of protein found in the skin that plays a crucial role in maintaining the structure and integrity of the skin's basement membrane, which separates the outer layer of skin from the underlying layers. It is essential for skin adhesion and wound healing, and its dysfunction can lead to skin blistering diseases such as bullous pemphigoid.
