“a STRONG, SLIPPERY, STRETCHY BM”
What are the 2 common structures in preprocollagen alpha chains
- glycine-proline-X
- glycine-X-hydroxyproline
In the synthesis of collagen, the hydroxylation of lysine and proline requires what
vitamin C
In the synthesis of collagen, what need to happen to the hydroxylated lysine to make procollagen (triple helix of alpha chains)
glycosylation
What happens to procollagen?
- exocytosis
- cleavage of terminal ends —> tropocollagen
what happens to tropocollagen
-covalent crosslink to make collagen fibrils
