Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic protein 1 (BMP-1) and mammalian Tolloid (mTLD), two proteinases encoded by Bmp1, provide procollagen C-proteinase (pCP) activity that converts procollagens I to III into the major fibrous components of mammalian extracellular matrix (ECM). Yet, although Bmp1(-/-) mice have aberrant collagen fibrils, they have residual pCP activity, indicative of genetic redundancy. Mammals possess two...
