PCOLCE Antibody Blocking Peptide

Fibrillar collagen types I-III are synthesized as precursor molecules known as procollagens. These precursors contain amino- and carboxyl-terminal peptide extensions known as N- and C-propeptides， respectively， which are cleaved， upon secretion of procollagen from the cell， to yield the mature triple helical， highly structured fibrils. This gene encodes a glycoprotein which binds and drives the enzymatic cleavage of type I procollagen and heightens C-proteinase activity.
