The Role of the α3(VI) Chain in Collagen VI Assembly

1 Mar 1998

Abstract excerpt

Collagen VI is a microfibrillar protein found in the extracellular matrix of virtually all connective tissues. Three genetically distinct subunits, the alpha1(VI), alpha2(VI), and alpha3(VI) chains, associate intracellularly to form triple-helical monomers, which then assemble into disulfide-bonded dimers and tetramers before secretion. Although sequence considerations suggest that collagen VI monomers composed...
