Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic protein-1 (BMP-1) is a shorter spliced variant of mammalian tolloid (mTld), both of which cleave the C-propeptides of type I procollagen during the synthesis of extracellular matrix collagen fibrils. The fact that BMP-1 and mTld both exhibit procollagen C-proteinase (PCP) activity and that BMP-1 is the smaller variant might indicate that BMP-1 comprises the minimal required sequences for PCP...
