Collagens are the major proteinaceous constituents of cartilage. Three collagen types participate in the formation of striated fibrils of cartilage, collagens 11, IX, and XI. Collagen I1 and XI belong to the subgroup of fibrillar collagens and are structurally closely related, differing mainly in th
Studies on basement membrane collagens indicate that, like the interstitial collagens, the basement membrane collagen molecule has a rodlike triple-helical portion. Unlike the interstitial collagens, the tissue form of basement membrane collagen either retains its procollagenous extension peptides o
