Abstract excerpt
Chondrocytes from pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH) and multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (EDM1) patients display an enlarged rough endoplasmic reticulum that accumulates extracellular matrix proteins, including cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP). Mutations that cause PSACH and EDM1 are restricted to a 27-kDa Ca(2+) binding domain (type 3 repeat). This domain has 13 Ca(2+)-binding loops with a consensus sequence...
