Collagen family of proteins

Van Der Rest, Michel, Garrone, Robert·1991·The FASEB Journal

Abstract

Collagen molecules are structural macromolecules of the extracellular matrix that include in their structure one or several domains that have a characteristic triple helical conformation. They have been classified by types that define distinct sets of polypeptide chains that can form homo‐ and heterotrimeric assemblies. All the collagen molecules participate in supramolecular aggregates that are stabilized in part by interactions between triple helical domains. Fourteen collagen types have been defined so far. They form a wide range of structures. Most notable are 1 ) fibrils that are found in most connective tissues and are made by alloys of fibrillar collagens (types I, II, III, V, and XI) and 2 ) sheets constituting basement membranes (type IV collagen), Descemet's membrane (type VIII collagen), worm cuticle, and organic exoskeleton of sponges. Other collagens, present in smaller quantities in tissues, play the role of connecting elements between these major structures and other tissue components. The fibril‐associated collagens with interrupted triple helices (FACITs) (types IX, XII, and XIV) appear to connect fibrils to other matrix elements. Type VII collagen assemble into anchoring fibrils that bind epithelial basement membranes and entrap collagen fibrils from the underlying stroma to glue the two structures together. Type VI collagen forms thin‐beaded filaments that may interact with fibrils and cells.—van der Rest, M.; Garrone, R. Collagen family of proteins. FASEB J. 5: 2814‐2823; 1991.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
