Biochem - Collagen and GAGS Flashcards
Turnover time for collagen in anchoring fibers and peridontium?
24 hours
Where can TIV collagen be found?
Basement membrane
T3 collagen increases what?
Flexibility
What types of collagen in gingiva?
1,3,4,5,6
What types of collagen in perio ligament?
1,3,5
What types of collagen in cementum?
1,3,5 (sharpey fibers)
What types of collagen in alveolar bone?
1,3
Hydroxyapatite
Ca5(PO4)3OH
What is known to have a high secretory component?
Odontoblastic processes (tubules)
What is required for a high secretory capacity?
RER, Golgi, and various vesicles
Protein that is similar to collagen in enamel mineralization process?
Amelogenin
Dentin process
RER (collagen is here) -> golgi -> secretory vesicles -> fuse with plasma membrane -> collagen is released -> fibrous network is formed and gets mineralized -> dentin
What is harder, enamel or dentin?
Enamel
T1 collagen AA composition
- 33% glycine
- 15% proline or hydroxyproline
What type of helix is collagen?
- Left handed helix
- 3 AA’s per turn (small diameter)
When 3 collagen chains come together, what do they form?
- Triple helix
- RIGHT handed
Collagen sequence
(Glycine - X - Y)n
*every 3rd residue is glycine
What is usually in the Y position in a collagen sequence?
- HyPro
- HyLys

T3- Fibril
T4- Sheet-like
Hydroxylation of Pro and Lys in collagen require:
O2
Fe2+
a-ketoglutarate
