Type V collagen

Type V collagen is a form of fibrillar[1] collagen associated with classical Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. It is found within the dermal/epidermal junction, placental tissues, as well as in association with tissues containing type I collagen.[2]

Autoimmunity against type V collagen is associated with lung transplant failure.[3][4][5]

Genes

gollark: "Ordinal encoding"? Why ARE you not just enumerating?
gollark: What?
gollark: I disagree.
gollark: I certainly haven't gotten that.
gollark: x² such that x in (A union C) and x < 8.
