The Collagen V Homotrimer [α1(V)]3 Production Is Unexpectedly Favored over the Heterotrimer [α1(V)]2α2(V) in Recombinant Expression Systems
Collagen V, a fibrillar collagen with important functions in tissues, assembles into distinct chain associations. The most abundant and ubiquitous molecular form is the heterotrimer [α1(V)]2α2(V). In the attempt to produce high levels of recombinant collagen V heterotrimer for biomedical device uses...
