Abstract excerpt
The Disproportionate micromelia (Dmm) mouse has a three nucleotide deletion in Col2a1 in the region encoding the C-propeptide which results in the substitution of one amino acid, Asn, for two amino acids, Lys-Thr. Western blot and immunohistochemical analyses failed to detect type II collagen in the cartilage matrix of the homozygous mice and showed reduced levels in the matrix of heterozygous mice. Type II...
