Isolation and characterization of the mouse gene for the α1 chain of type XV collagen
(Col15a1) revealed it to be approximately 110 kb in length and contain 40 exons. Analysis of …

The entire mouse cDNA sequence for type XIV collagen was determined using overlapping
PCR products. The 6456 nucleotide (nt) cDNA sequence contains a 5391-nt open reading …

The human gene for the α1 chain of type XV collagen (COL15A1) is about 145 kilobases in
size and contains 42 exons. The promoter is characterized by the lack of a TATAA motif and …

Here we report the complete structure for the human COL9A1 and the complete sequence
for the human COL9A2 genes. The COL9A1 gene is about 90 kb and consists of 38 exons …

Type VII collagen is the major component of anchoring fibrils, critical attachment structures at
the dermal-epidermal basement membrane zone. Genetic linkage analyses with recently …

Type V collagen is a minor represented and poorly characterized fibrillar collagen type.
Previous cDNA cloning experiments showed that the amino-propeptide of the pro-α2 (V) …

The genes COL4A5 and COL4A6, coding for the basement membrane collagen chains, α5
(IV) and α6 (IV), respectively, are located head-to-head in close proximity on human …

The entire mouse collagen X gene (Col10a‐1) has been isolated. The gene is composed of
three exons and two introns spanning 7.0 kb of the DNA sequence. Exons 2 and 3 together …

Type X collagen, a homotrimer of α1 (X) polypeptide chains, is specifically expressed by
hypertrophic chondrocytes in regions of cartilage undergoing endochondral ossification. We …

Recent findings indicate that type XIII collagen is a transmembrane protein with a short N-
terminal sytosolic domain, a single transmembrane domain and a large, mainly collagenous …
