| Abstract: | Collagen with a molecular composition α1(I)]3 has been identified in acetic acid extracts from lathyritic chick embryo tendons and calvaria. These molecules characteristically have greater solubility than Type I collagen at neutral pH and contain increased amounts of hydroxylysine residues. It is suggested that these molecules represent a separate gene product of embryonic cells which may be important in the process of maturation and development. |
