summary/abstract:Type I procollagen is a fibrillar collagen consisting of two pro-a1(I) chains and one pro-a2(I) chain. This procollagen heterotrimer contains a central triple helical domain that is flanked by amino- and carboxy-terminal propeptides (N- and C-propeptides), which are cleaved off after assembly and secretion. The C-propeptides, involved in the formation of post-translational disulphide bonds, are responsible for the correct alignment of the three individual procollagen chains and direct chain–chain recognition.
