Also known as MGC9568
Summary
COL8A1 (collagen type VIII alpha 1 chain, HGNC:2215) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 3q12.1, encoding Collagen alpha-1(VIII) chain (P27658). Macromolecular component of the subendothelium.
This gene encodes one of the two alpha chains of type VIII collagen. The gene product is a short chain collagen and a major component of the basement membrane of the corneal endothelium. The type VIII collagen fibril can be either a homo- or a heterotrimer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been observed.

Collagen alpha-1(VIII) chain — P27658 (reviewed: P27658)
Alternative names: Endothelial collagen
All UniProt accessions (3): P27658, A0A087WZI0, C9JTN9
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Macromolecular component of the subendothelium. Major component of the Descemet’s membrane (basement membrane) of corneal endothelial cells. Also a component of the endothelia of blood vessels. Necessary for migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and thus, has a potential role in the maintenance of vessel wall integrity and structure, in particular in atherogenesis. Vastatin, the C-terminal fragment comprising the NC1 domain, inhibits aortic endothelial cell proliferation and causes cell apoptosis.
Subunit / interactions. Homotrimers, or heterotrimers in association with alpha 2(VIII) type collagens. Four homotrimers can form a tetrahedron stabilized by central interacting C-terminal NC1 trimers.
Subcellular location. Secreted. Extracellular space. Extracellular matrix. Basement membrane.
Tissue specificity. Expressed primarily in the subendothelium of large blood vessels. Also expressed in arterioles and venules in muscle, heart, kidney, spleen, umbilical cord, liver and lung and is also found in connective tissue layers around hair follicles, around nerve bundles in muscle, in the dura of the optic nerve, in cornea and sclera, and in the perichondrium of cartilaginous tissues. In the kidney, expressed in mesangial cells, glomerular endothelial cells, and tubular epithelial cells. Also expressed in mast cells, and in astrocytes during the repair process. Expressed in Descemet’s membrane. Specifically expressed in peritoneal fibroblasts and mesothelial cells.
Post-translational modifications. Prolines at the third position of the tripeptide repeating unit (G-X-Y) are hydroxylated in some or all of the chains. Proteolytically cleaved by neutrophil elastase, in vitro. Proteolytic processing produces the C-terminal NC1 domain fragment, vastatin.
Induction. Up-regulated during vascular injury, in atherosclerosis and in diabetes.
Miscellaneous. Four consecutive Gly-Pro-Pro triplets are present at the C-terminus of the triple-helical region. These may provide the high thermal stability of this region.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 68 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
