Background: Collagen II

Type II collagen is an essential component of cartilage. It is essential for skeletal development and for the ability of cartilage to resist compressive forces. Type II collagen is a homotrimer of a1(II) chains. Defects in Type II collagen are the cause of numerous diseases, including chondrodysplasias and arthritis (1). This recombinant mini pro-a1(II) collagen consists of the N‑terminal propeptide, 108 Gly-X-Y repeats, and the C‑terminal propeptide. Proteolytic processing of the C‑terminal propeptide by the procollagen C-proteinase (BMP-1) releases chondrocalcin, a calcium binding protein.
