Major component of the Descemet's membrane (basement membrane) of corneal endothelial cells. Also component of the endothelia of blood vessels. Necessary for migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and thus, has a potential role in the maintenance of vessel wall integrity and structure, in particular in atherogenesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11708810}. |Collagen| |C1q| |collagen type VIII trimer| |endodermal cell differentiation| |extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring tensile strength| |endoderm formation| |endoderm development| |epithelial cell proliferation| |formation of primary germ layer| |camera-type eye morphogenesis| |positive regulation of cell-substrate adhesion| |extracellular matrix structural constituent| |eye morphogenesis| |gastrulation| |regulation of cell-substrate adhesion| |extracellular matrix| |sensory organ morphogenesis| |endoplasmic reticulum lumen| |camera-type eye development| |angiogenesis| |extracellular matrix organization| |eye development| |visual system development| |collagen-containing extracellular matrix| |sensory system development| |extracellular structure organization| |positive regulation of cell adhesion| |blood vessel morphogenesis| |blood vessel development| |vasculature development| |cardiovascular system development| |sensory organ development| |cell population proliferation| |embryonic morphogenesis| |tube morphogenesis| |regulation of cell adhesion| |tube development| |circulatory system development| |anatomical structure formation involved in morphogenesis| |cell adhesion| |biological adhesion| |animal organ morphogenesis| |embryo development| |extracellular space| |tissue development| |extracellular region| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp524|Staurosporine 0.02μM R08 exp524]]|1.85| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
