Collagen type VI regulates TGFβ bioavailability in skeletal muscle
2023-06-24
Abstract excerpt
Collagen VI-related disorders ( COL6 -RDs) are a group of rare muscular dystrophies caused by pathogenic variants in collagen VI genes ( COL6A1, COL6A2, and COL6A3 ). Collagen type VI is a heterotrimeric, microfibrillar component of the muscle extracellular matrix (ECM), predominantly secreted by resident fibroadipogenic precursor cells in skeletal muscle. The absence or mislocalizatoion of collagen VI in the E...
