Collagen VII also known as collagen type VII or collagen 7 is an important structural component of the extracellular matrix. It measures approximately 290 kDa in mass. Researchers identified it chiefly in stratified squamous epithelia and the basement membrane zone of the skin. Collagen VII plays a mechanical role as anchoring fibrils maintaining skin integrity by attaching the dermal tissue to the epidermal basement membrane. In marmoset dermal tissue similar functions are observed indicating a conserved role in primates.
Collagen VII forms part of a larger complex known as anchoring fibrils. These fibrils play an essential role in providing structural support and maintaining mechanical stability of tissues. The protein enhances the connection between the epidermis and dermis preventing separation between these layers. Its presence signifies the maintenance of tissue integrity and resilience critical for normal skin function.
Collagen type VII interacts within the epidermal basement membrane zone part of the broader extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling pathway. It collaborates with other ECM components like collagen type I and collagen type III which all contribute to skin strength and elasticity. The interplay between these collagens ensures the continuous renewal and repair of skin tissues essential for wound healing and overall skin health.
Collagen VII mutations or deficiencies lead to dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) a genetic skin condition characterized by severe blistering. This disorder arises from defective anchoring fibril formation causing skin layers to separate easily. The interplay between collagen VII and other collagens like collagen type I becomes compromised exacerbating tissue fragility. Understanding these interactions provides insight into targeted treatments and management strategies for DEB.
