Description

Anchoring fibrils formed by collagen VII play a critical role in stabilizing the dermal–epidermal junction. The N-terminal non-collagenous (NC1) domain of collagen VII binds firmly to basement membrane components including collagen IV and has also been reported to interact with mesenchymal fibrillar collagens via its von Willebrand factor A-like domain 2 (A2 domain).
