Abstract excerpt

Type IV collagen, the major component of basement membranes (BMs), is a family of six homologous chains (alpha1-alpha6) that have a tissue-specific distribution. The chains assemble into supramolecular networks that differ in the chain composition. In this study, a novel network was identified and characterized in the smooth muscle BMs of aorta and bladder. The noncollagenous (NC1) hexamers solubilized by...
