Biosynthesis and assembly of the Collagen IV-like protein Pericardin in Drosophila melanogaster

Biosynthesis and assembly of the Collagen IV-like protein Pericardin in Drosophila melanogaster

In Drosophila, formation of the cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM) starts during embryogenesis. Assembly and incorporation of structural proteins such as Collagen IV, Pericardin, and Laminin A, B1, and B2 into the cardiac ECM is critical to the maintenance of heart integrity and functionality and, t...
