Collagen disorders Flashcards
what is the function of collagen?
provides rigidity, elasticity and strength -> maintains structural integrity of tissues
what is the structure of collagen?
triple helix
Synthesis of collagen
mRNA goes from nucleus to ??? where ??? is produced
It is modified in the ? of ??? through ? and ?
?? molecules form a ? molecule
Enter the ?? and modified through addition of ?
Procollagen enters ?? where peptidase ? propeptides forming a ? molecule called ?
This ? self assembles into a regularly staggered array forming ?
The fibrillar structure is maintained through ? bonds between the lysine and hydroxylysine of neighbouring ? molecules
Cross linking of tropocollagen leads to the formation of ?, which is catalysed by ?
RER
preprocollagen alpha chain
cisternae
RER
hydroxylation
glycosylation
3 preprocollagen
procollagen
golgi apparatus
oligosaccharides
extracellular matrix
cleaves
shorter
tropocollagen
spontaneously
fibrils
covalent
tropocollagen
collagen fibres
lysyl oxidase
collagen maintains the firmness and elasticity of skin. what types of collagen are present in the skin?
1 and 3
collagen is important in the formation of scars in wound healing. what types of collagen increase in abundance during wound healing?
1 and 3
collagen lubricates the ends of bones to allow movement. what type of collagen is here?
type 1
remember
collagen is in Cartilage, tendon, ligament -> withstand and emit large forces between ligament and bone
Muscles

type 4
where is the basement membrane in the oral mucosa?
between the epithelium and the mesenchyme

type I and IV
what collagen type is in the TMJ?
type I, II and III
what is the function of collagen in the alveolar bone?
resist mechanical shear from any direction
what is the function of collagen in the PDL?
flexibility and strength to the tissue
what is the function of collagen in cementum?
regulating periodontal tissues during development and regeneration
what is the function of collagen in dentine?
accommodation of minerals in the holes and pores of fibrils
