Beta Isomer of C-Terminal Telopeptide of Type I Collagen

Go to external page http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/NCIT_C118889

This polypeptide is comprised of the proteolytically released carboxy-terminal portions of fibrillar type I collagen where age has converted the alpha form of aspartic acid to its beta form. These peptides are joined through trivalent crosslinks and are products of the degradation of mature type I collagen. Elevated serum concentrations of beta-CTX are associated with increased bone resorption. [ ]

DesignNote

Triple helical collagen is constructed from more than one gene product; thus, C-terminal telopeptides arise from heterogeneous sources.
