LARP6 Meets Collagen mRNA: Specific Regulation of Type I Collagen Expression
Type I collagen is the most abundant structural protein in all vertebrates, but its constitutive rate of synthesis is low due to long half-life of the protein (60–70 days). However, several hundred fold increased production of type I collagen is often seen in reparative or reactive fibrosis. The mec...
