[type 8 collagen] This collagen is being referred to in earlier studies also as endothelial collagen or EC collagen as it was found to be expressed by corneal and vascular endothelial cells (Sage et al, 1980; Benya, 1980). Subsequent studies have shown that this collagen is expressed also by other cell types such as skin keratinocytes, corneal epithelial and endothelial cells, lens epithelial cells, as well as in mesenchymal cells surrounding cartilage and calvarial bone and in the meninges surrounding the brain (Muragaki et al, 1992).
Collagen type 8 is a heterotrimeric molecule composed of two distinct alpha chains in the ratio of 2:1 COL8A1
