Recombinant Human Collagen alpha-2 (VI) chain (COL6A2), partial

1. binding of collagen VI to NG2 is essential for the direction of tendon fibroblasts migration in vitro. PMID: 26944560
2. Genetic study showed a missense mutation in COL6A2 (c.820 G>A, p.Gly268Ser) that causes a glycine substitution in the Gly-X-Y collagenous motif, at the beginning of the collagenous triple helical domain. The c.820 G>A mutation segregated in all the affected patients. PMID: 27563703
3. Mutations in COL6A2 gene are associated with aberrant mitochondria in Bethlem myopathy. PMID: 25533456
4. In UCMD, 8 mutations were identified in COL6A2 in Chinese patients. PMID: 24801232
5. COL6A2 is overexpressed in Down syndrome-affected umbilical cords at early and term gestational ages. PMID: 23452080
6. Homozygous COL6A2 mutation, p.Asp215Asn, was identified in both affected siblings. We conclude that the COL6A2 p.Asp215Asn mutation is likely to be responsible for PME (Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy) in this family. PMID: 23138527
7. A deletion within intron 1A of the COL6A2 gene, occurring in compound heterozygosity with a small deletion in exon 28, was identified in a BM patient. PMID: 20302629
8. the C2A splice variant has a role in recessive COL6A2 C-globular missense mutations in Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy PMID: 20106987
9. The alpha2(VI) chain modulates matrix-metalloproteinase (MMP) availability by sequestering proMMPs in the extracellular matrix, blocking proteolytic activity. PMID: 19698785
10. the C-terminal globular domain of COL6A2 is not essential for triple-helix formation but is critical for microfibrillar assembly in Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy PMID: 12218063
11. A case of Ullrich disease is associated with complete deficiency of collagen VI and compound heterozygous mutations in the collagen VI alpha 2 gene with absence of microfibrils on electron microscopy. PMID: 12297580
12. Bethlem myopathy is an autosomal dominantly inherited myopathy with contractures, caused by mutations in COL6A1 gene, COL6A2 gene or COL6A3 gene. PMID: 12374585
13. In Ullrich syndrome, a heterozygous G-to-A substitution at position +5 in intron 23 & the corresponding heterozygous 6-bp deletion in exon 26 which deleted 1 of the 2 tandem repeats of the sequence CATCGG in nt 2268-2273 & 2274-2279 in COL6A2 ORF. PMID: 14981181
14. diminished COL6A2 mRNA expression found to be primary pathogenic mechanism in UCMD patient PMID: 16075202
15. This study demonstrates a homogenoeous overexpression of the genes encoding for alpha1 and alpha2 chains of collagen type VI in nuchal skin of human trisomy 21 fetuses. PMID: 17602442
16. Results describe the characteristic features of myosclerosis myopathy with a homozygous collagen type 6A2 mutation responsible for a peculiar pattern of collagen VI defects. PMID: 18852439
