Anchorin CII is a collagen binding protein of the annexin family associated with plasma membranes of chondrocytes, osteoblasts, and many other cells. As a major constituent of cartilage-derived matrix vesicles it has been shown to bind to native type II and X collagen. In accordance with this observation, here we show the localization of anchorin CII in the extracellular matrix of calcifying cartilage in the fetal human growth plate, and that it was restricted to the chondrocyte surface in proliferating and resting cartilage. Furthermore, we present evidence, using a slot blot assay, that anchorin CII not only binds to native type II and X collagen, but also to chondrocalcin, the carboxy-terminal extension of type II procollagen, in a calcium-independent manner. Pepsin digestion of type II collagen results in loss of anchorin CII binding, confirming our previous notion that the telopeptide region of type II collagen carries anchorin CII binding sites.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D002642 Chick Embryo The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching. Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick
