Cloning of the human and mouse type X collagen genes and mapping of the mouse type X collagen gene to chromosome 10
1 May 1992
Abstract excerpt
Type X collagen, a homotrimer of alpha 1 (X) polypeptide chains, is specifically expressed by hypertrophic chondrocytes in regions of cartilage undergoing endochondral ossification. We have previously described the isolation of a small fragment of the human type X collagen gene (COL10A1) and its localization to the q21-q22 region of human chromosome 6 [Apte, S., Mattei, M.-G. & Olsen, B.
