Abstract excerpt
The dermal type I collagen of a patient with Ehlers-Danlos type VIIB (EDS-VIIB) contained normal alpha 2(I) chains and mutant pN-alpha 2(I)' chains in which the amino-terminal propeptide (N-propeptide) remained attached to the alpha 2(I) chain. Similar alpha 2(I) chains were produced by cultured dermal fibroblasts. Amino acid sequencing of tryptic peptides, prepared from the mutant amino-terminal pN-alpha 2(I)...
