Type IV collagen is the major structural component of glomerular basent membranes (GBM), forming a chicken-wire meshwork together with laminins, proteoglycans and entactin/nidogen. Tumstatin, a cleavage fragment corresponding to the collagen alpha 3(IV) NC1 domain, possesses both anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor cell activity, these two anti-tumor properties may be regulated via RGD-independent ITGB3-mediated mechanisms.
