Human Pro-COL1A1 Protein, His Tag, low endotoxin (MALS verified)

Type I collagen is the most abundant structural protein of connective tissues such as skin, bone and tendon. It is synthesized as a procollagen molecule which is characterized by a 300 nm triple helical domain flanked by globular N- and C-terminal propeptides. The triple helical domain contains Gly-Xaa-Yaa triplets where Xaa and Yaa are frequently proline and hydroxyproline, respectively. The non-helical propeptides are removed by procollagen N- and C-proteinase activities so that the mature triple helices can self-assemble into collagen fibrils that provide tensile strength to tissues. Type I collagen is a heterotrimer that consists of two alpha 1 (I) chains and one alpha 2 (I) chain, although homotrimers consisting of three identical alpha 1 (I) chains have also been described .
