    Background

    The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex network of macromolecules that provides structural tissue support to cells in the basement membrane and interstitial matrix. It is composed of many molecules, including proteins, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, and polysaccharides (1,2). One of the major proteins that comprise the ECM, and the human body, is collagen. Collagens are a large family of proteins. They are trimeric molecules composed of three alpha polypeptide chains that form a triple helix structure that is characteristic of all collagens (3). The large family of collagens is divided into three subgroups: fibrillar collagens, non-fibril forming collagens, and fibril-associated collagens. These subgroups differ in their structure and supramolecular assembly (3).

    Collagen type XII α1 chain (COL12A1), the largest member of the fibril-associated collagens with interrupted triple helix (FACIT) collagen family, contains fibronectin type III repeats, von Willebrand factor A domains, and two triple-helical domains (4). There are two major isoforms, a long form of 3063 amino acids and a short form of 1899 amino acids. COL12A1 binds to type I collagen fibrils and contributes to tissue biomechanics in the cornea, skeletal muscle, and tendon tissues (reviewed in 5). Mutations in the COL12A1 gene are correlated with myopathapies (6,7). COL12A1 expression is upregulated in several types of cancer; this elevation is thought to enhance tumor migration, invasiveness, and metastasis and, in some cases, correlates with poor prognosis (8-13).
