Type IV collagen is the major structural component of glomerular basement membranes (GBM), forming a 'chicken-wire' meshwork together with laminins, proteoglycans and entactin/nidogen.Arresten, comprising the C-terminal NC1 domain, inhibits angiogenesis and tumor formation. The C-terminal half is found to possess the anti-angiogenic activity. Specifically inhibits endothelial cell proliferation, migration and tube formation.

Collagen IV also known as COL4A1 or collagen type IV is a structural protein essential to the basement membrane in tissues. The molecular weight of collagen type 4 varies but it generally forms a high-molecular-weight complex. This protein expresses prominently in various tissues especially in the kidneys lens capsule of the eye and skin. Collagen IV comprises six different alpha chains where its distinctiveness lies in its non-fibrillar network-forming structure which serves as a supportive scaffold for tissues and contributes to tissue regeneration and cell adhesion.
The highly organized network of collagen type IV plays a supreme role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of the basement membrane. It exists predominantly as part of a supramolecular complex associating with laminin nidogen and perlecan forming a multifunctional platform. This platform facilitates cellular signaling tissue elasticity and filtration functions. The basement membrane's selective permeability heavily relies on this network structure to regulate the exchange of molecules between tissues like blood vessels and epithelial sheets.
Collagen IV contributes to several critical functions within the extracellular matrix organization and cell-matrix adhesion pathways. Specifically it interacts intimately with integrins and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) playing roles in angiogenesis and tissue repair. Additionally its interactions with other collagens and integrins within these pathways enhance cellular responses to mechanical stress and contribute to structural resilience in tissues.
Mutations or abnormalities in collagen IV are linked closely with hereditary conditions such as Alport syndrome and Goodpasture syndrome. These conditions often result in compromised structural integrity and function of the basement membrane particularly affecting the kidneys and lungs. Alterations in collagen IV can influence interactions with other proteins like collagen type IV-associated proteins altering normal physiological functions and leading to tissue dysfunction and disease manifestations.

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded mouse pancreas tissue stained for Collagen IV using ab19808.
Endocrine-cells coated with a layer of extracellular matrix (P1). Immunohistochemical staining for Insulin (green), glucagon (red) and collagen IV (yellow) is shown. Note that intra-islet blood vessels are also associated with the extracellular matrix. Scale bar is 50 μm.
The primary antibodies were detected using different combinations of Cy2, Cy5 and Texas Red-conjugated secondary antibodies and the image was captured via confocal microscopy.
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of mouse skin tissue labeling Collagen IV with ab19808 at ≥1/500 dilution.
ab19808 at a 1/200 dilution staining mouse mammary gland tissue by Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections). The antibody was incubated with the tissue for 16 hours and then detected with an Alexa Fluor® 488 conjuaged anti-rabbit antibody.
