Ablation of the FACIT collagen XII disturbs musculoskeletal ECM organization and causes patella dislocation and myopathy
2021-12-30
Abstract excerpt
Collagen XII, belonging to the fibril-associated collagens with interrupted triple helix (FACIT) family, assembles from three identical α-chains encoded by the COL12A1 gene. The trimeric molecule consists of three N-terminal noncollagenous NC3 domains joined by disulfide bonds followed by a short interrupted collagen triple helix at the C-terminus. Collagen XII is expressed widely in the musculoskeletal system and...
