PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

heterotrimerizing with COL1A1 (one alpha 2, two alpha 1 chains)

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	the early-immediate gene EGR-1 is induced by transforming growth factor-beta and mediates stimulation of collagen gene expression
	JUNB mediates enhancer/promoter activity of COL1A2 after TGF-beta induction (Ponticos 2009)
	NAMPT antagonized COL1A2 promoter repression by RFX5
	transcription factor SCX induces COL1A2 expression in both cardiac fibroblasts and myofibroblasts

cell & other

REGULATION

activated by

TGF-beta via a Smad-independent signalling pathway (Ponticos 2009)

Other	IFNG and TGFBeta have antagonist roles on the regulation of RFXANK repressing or up-regulating COL1A2 (Fang 2009)
	inactivated by CpG hypermethylation , contributing to proliferation and migration activity of bladder cancer (Mori 2009)
