Collagen and elastin fibres.
PROCOLLAGEN-COLLAGEN CONVERSION The first extracellular step after secretion is the proteolytic cleavage of these Nand C-terminal nonhelical regions of procollagen (Bornstein, 1974). The actual location of cleavage of these extension peptides is not known, but they are probably removed during the formation of the fibre and may take part in fibrogenesis. The intermediates in the conversion of pr...

15 صفحه اولCollagen polymorphisms of the intervertebral disc.
The mechanical function and the collagen phenotype of the disc are complex, each a hybrid of elements of ligament and cartilage. In detail, the collagen properties are unique. Collagens I and II provide the bulk of the tissue fabric interwoven in opposing radial concentration gradients. From analysis of isolated cross-linked peptides, some degree of commingling of these major fibrillar collagen...
متن کاملFunction-structure relationship of elastic arteries in evolution: from microfibrils to elastin and elastic fibres.
Evolution of species has led to the appearance of circulatory systems including blood vessels and one or more pulsatile pumps, typically resulting in a low-pressurised open circulation in most invertebrates and a high-pressurised closed circulation in vertebrates. In both open and closed circulations, the large elastic arteries proximal to the heart damp out the pulsatile flow and blood pressur...
متن کاملTranscriptional profiling of bovine intervertebral disc cells: implications for identification of normal and degenerate human intervertebral disc cell phenotypes
INTRODUCTION Nucleus pulposus (NP) cells have a phenotype similar to articular cartilage (AC) cells. However, the matrix of the NP is clearly different to that of AC suggesting that specific cell phenotypes exist. The aim of this study was to identify novel genes that could be used to distinguish bovine NP cells from AC and annulus fibrosus (AF) cells, and to further determine their expression ...
