Deformation-dependent enzyme mechanokinetic cleavage of type I collagen.

Collagen is a key structural protein in the extracellular matrix of many tissues. It provides biological tissues with tensile mechanical strength and is enzymatically cleaved by a class of matrix metalloproteinases known as collagenases. Collagen enzymatic kinetics has been well characterized in solubilized, gel, and reconstituted forms. However, limited information exists on enzyme degradation...

Simultaneous measurement of collagen type-VI-related antigen and procollagen type-III-N-propeptide levels in bronchoalveolar lavage.

Abnormal collagen metabolism is a hallmark of diffuse lung disease. Biochemical parameters which are correlated with collagen synthesis and degradation may be helpful to monitor fibrosis. In this study, we compared the sensitivity and specificity of procollagen type-III-N-propeptide (PIIINP) and collagen type-VI (C-VI) related antigen levels, as well as a ratio of both parameters (PIIINP/C-VI),...

A new platelet receptor specific to type III collagen. Type III collagen-binding protein.

Platelet interaction with type III collagen is mediated by several platelet receptors that recognize specific sequences in collagen. We previously described an octapeptide KP*GEP*GPK within the alpha(1)III-CB4 fragment that binds to platelets and specifically inhibits platelet aggregation induced by type III collagen. In this study, we demonstrated that the octapeptide prevented platelet contac...
