The Elongated First Fibronectin Type III Domain of Collagen XIV Is an Inducer of Quiescence and Differentiation in Fibroblasts and Preadipocytes
30 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
Collagen XIV (CXIV) is a fibril-associated collagen that is mainly expressed in well differentiated tissues and in late embryonic development. Because CXIV is almost absent in proliferating and/or dedifferentiated tissues, a functional role in maintaining cell differentiation is suspected. We demonstrate antiproliferative, quiescence- and differentiation-inducing effects of human CXIV and its recombinant...
