Summary	<p>COL4a5 is one of the six subunits of type IV collagen, the major structural component of basement membranes. Mutations in this gene are associated with X-linked Alport syndrome, also known as hereditary nephritis. Like the other members of the type IV collagen gene family, this gene is organized in a head-to-head conformation with another type IV collagen gene so that each gene pair shares a common promoter. Three transcript variants have been identified for this gene. Type IV collagen is the major structural component of glomerular basement membranes (GBM), forming a &#39;chicken-wire&#39; meshwork together with laminins, proteoglycans and entactin/nidogen.There are six type IV collagen isoforms, alpha 1(IV)-alpha 6(IV), each of which can form a triple helix structure with 2 other chains to generate type IV collagen network.</p>
