FLASH GENE DNA RNA EXPRESSION PROTEIN DISORDER ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a TSP N-terminal domain
	three collagen-like Gly-X-Y repeat motifs flanked by four non-collagenous domains
	an 8-AA-long sequence located in non-collagenous domain 2 was found to be crucial for the interaction with APP

conjugated

GlycoP

mono polymer

dimer , trimer

isoforms

Precursor

precursor as CLAC-P/collagen type XXV.

HOMOLOGY

interspecies

homolog to murine Col25a1

Homologene

FAMILY

collagen superfamily

CATEGORY

regulatory , transcription factor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	plasma membrane
	intracellular
text	type II transmembrane protein

basic FUNCTION	regulation of transcription DNA dependent
	assembles APP fibrils into fibril bundles that have an increased resistance to proteases
	may be involved at an intermediate stage in the pathogenesis by binding to APP fibrils, including fibrils formed from peptides with truncated N- or C-termini, and thereby slows their growth
	anti-amyloidogenic roles in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer disease
	promotes Alzheimer disease-like pathology

CELLULAR PROCESS

nucleotide, transcription, regulation

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

extracellular domain is secreted after cleavage by furin

INTERACTION

DNA

binding

RNA

small molecule

protein	amyloid beta peptide binding at the cell surface
	binds to APP with high affinity (the central region of APP is necessary and sufficient for this interaction, and the aggregation state of APP as well as the presence of negatively charged residues is important)

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

Col25a1 knockout mice exhibited loss of motor axon elongation and branching in the muscles, which resulted in axon degeneration
