Collagens and their abnormalities in a wide spectrum of diseases.

Annals of medicine - 1 Apr 1993

Kivirikko K I

Abstract excerpt

Collagens are a family of extracellular matrix proteins that play a dominant role in maintaining the structural integrity of various tissues. Nineteen collagen types containing altogether more than 30 distinct polypeptide chains have now been identified, and their genes have been found to be dispersed among at least 12 chromosomes. Mutations in collagen genes or deficiencies in the activities of specific...
