Type XVIII and XV collagens: primary structure of human alpha1(XVIII) chain, phenotypic studies of type XVIII collagen single null and type XVIII and XV collagen double null mice
Abstract In this thesis study, the primary structure of the human α1(XVIII) polypeptide was elucidated, its tissue distribution was studied, and the phenotypic changes in the mouse eye due to lack of type XVIII collagen in a knock-out mouse model were studied further. In addition, the consequences...
