The human alpha 1(XV) collagen chain contains a large amino-terminal non-triple helical domain with a tandem repeat structure and homology to alpha 1(XVIII) collagen.

Abstract excerpt
We have cloned and characterized cDNAs encoding the alpha 1 chain of type XV collagen from a human placenta library. Using primer extension cloning we extended the cDNAs to the 5' end of the mRNA and determined the complete deduced primary structure of the human alpha 1(XV) chain. The polypeptide chain contains nine triple helical domains separated by eight non-triple helical regions and flanked by large...
