Differential expression of type XII collagen in developing chicken metatarsal tendons
17 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
Type XII collagen is a fibril-associated collagen with multiple functional domains. The purpose of this work was to determine its role in regulating tendon matrix assembly. The temporal and spatial expression patterns of both collagen and mRNA were analysed in developing chicken metatarsal tendons using immunofluorescence microscopy, in situ hybridization and real-time quantitative PCR. Temporally, type XII...
