Type III collagen is crucial for collagen I fibrillogenesis and for normal cardiovascular development.
Type III collagen is a fibrillar forming collagen comprising three alpha1(III) chains and is expressed in early embryos and throughout embryogenesis. In the adult, type III collagen is a major component of the extracellular matrix in a variety of internal organs and skin. Mutations in the COL3A1 gene have been implicated as a cause of type IV Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a disease leading to aortic ...
متن کاملCollagen type I, collagen type III, and versican in vocal fold lamina propria.
OBJECTIVE To analyze the distributions of collagen type I, collagen type III, and versican in the lamina propria of the human vocal fold. DESIGN Cross-sectional analysis of cadaveric vocal folds of adult human larynges. SETTING Academic tertiary referral center.

متن کاملType I collagen fibrillogenesis in vitro. Additional evidence for the assembly mechanism.
The intensity of scattered light at angles between 30 degrees and 120 degrees has been measured during the heat gelation lag phase of rat tail tendon collagen. As previously reported, the intensity at a scattering angle of 90 degrees does not change during the lag phase of gelation, whereas during this period, the intensity extrapolated to zero degrees more than doubles. Based on measurement of...
متن کاملCollagen fibrillogenesis in vitro: interaction of types I and V collagen regulates fibril diameter.
The small-diameter fibrils of the chick corneal stroma are heterotypic, composed of both collagen types I and V. This tissue has a high concentration of type V collagen relative to other type I-containing tissues with larger-diameter fibrils, suggesting that heterotypic interactions may have a regulatory role in the control of fibril diameter. The interactions of collagen types I and V were stu...
متن کاملDevelopment of tendon structure and function: regulation of collagen fibrillogenesis.
In the tendon, the development of mature mechanical properties is dependent on the assembly of a tendon-specific extracellular matrix. This matrix is synthesized by the tendon fibroblasts and composed of collagen fibrils organized as fibers, as well as fibril-associated collagenous and non-collagenous proteins. All of these components are integrated, during development and growth, to form a fun...
