Collagen and Elastin Flashcards
Collagen Type 1
bone, skin, tendon
Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type 1
mutation in Type 1 Collagen-
multiple fractures, blue sclera, hearing loss
Autosomal dominant
Type 2 Collagen
Cartilage (Car-two-lege)
Type 3 Collagen
blood vessels
Type 4
Basement Membrane
Goodpasture’s
target Type 4 collagen
Alport Syndrome
thinning and splitting of the basement membrane -> glomerulonephritis
Ehlers Danlos
faulty collagen synthesis
hyperextensable skin, tendency to bleed, hypermobile joints,
hydroxylation of proline and lysine
requires vitamin C
deficiency with formation of triple helix (procollagen)
osteogenesis imperfecta
problems with cross-linking
Ehlers Danlos
collagen
organizes and strengthens extracellular matrix
elastin
stretchy protein in skin, lungs, large arteries, ligaments,
stretchy because of crosslinking
alpha 1 antitrypsin
inhibits elastase, which breaks down elastin
emphysema
alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency
smoking- centri acinar
genetic- pan acinar
