Novel roles for basement membrane collagens:isoform-specific functions of collagen XVIII in adipogenesis, fat deposition and eye development, and effects of the collagen IV-derived matricryptin arresten on oral carcinoma growth and invasion
Abstract Collagen XVIII is an evolutionarily conserved, ubiquitously-expressed basement membrane (BM) proteoglycan produced in three isoforms, the individual roles of which are largely unknown. The physiological in vivo roles of these collagen XVIII isoforms are studied here using novel genetically...
