In murine and human models, COL17A1 is shown to be essential for preserving hair follicle stem cell “stemness” and for regulating their aging by modulating the proteolysis of the collagen itself, which in turn influences hair follicle miniaturization and loss. Similar studies demonstrate that COL17A1 supports the maintenance not only of hair follicle stem cells but also of niche-associated cell populations such as melanocyte stem cells, indicating its broader importance in epithelial adhesion and tissue homeostasis."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "5"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nOther studies focus on the regulation of COL17A1 function through proteolytic mechanisms that modulate its extracellular domain.

Other studies document that alterations in COL17A1 domains can modulate the severity of junctional epidermolysis bullosa, while experiments in keratinocytes and urothelial cells reveal functions for COL17A1 in cell adhesion, directed migration, and activation of local immune responses during tissue injury or obstruction.
