Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the procollagen, collagen, alpha 2(I) mRNA, and DNA of a proband with type IV OI. The proband synthesized two alpha 2(I) chains, one with normal electrophoretic migration and one more rapidly migrating. The fast alpha 2(I) chain was relatively retained within the cell and was present in collagens synthesized in the presence of alpha,alpha'-dipyridyl. The alpha 2(I) cyanogen bromide peptide CB...
