Procollagen (Type I) contains a noncollagenous COOH-terminal propeptide (C-propeptide) hypothesized to be important in directing chain association and alignment during assembly. We previously expressed human pro-␣2(I) cDNA in rat liver epithelial cells, W8, that produce only pro-␣1(I) trimer collage
Collagen biosynthesis is a complex process that begins with the association of three procollagen chains. A series of conserved intra-and interchain disulfide bonds in the carboxyl-terminal region of the procollagen chains, or C-propeptide, has been hypothesized to play an important role in the nucle
