Abstract excerpt
Collagen IV (Col4) is a heterotrimer containing a triple helical domain broken up by short interruptions. Mutation of Glycine residues within the Glycine-X-Y triple helical repeat leads to genetically dominant disease in humans that affects multiple organ systems. Mouse and cell culture-based models have revealed allelic heterogeneity, resulting in a range of Col4 secretion defects depending on the position of...
