Isolation and characterization of a native placental basement-membrane collagen and its component alpha chains. 1979

R W Glanville, and A Rauter, and P P Fietzek

Native type IV collagen was isolated from human placenta using pepsin solubilisation followed by fractional salt precipitation and chromatogarphic purification. The native preparation was characterised using amino acid analyses, disc gel electrophoresis, segment-long-spacing crystallites and immunological methods. Two component alpha chains were isolated with molecular weights of approximately 95000 and 70000. Cyanogen bromide digests of these chains indicated that they are not related to any of the known alpha chains of interstitial collagens or to the recently described collagen containing alphaA and alphaB chains. They are also not related to one another and are therefore probably fragments of two genetically distinct type IV collagen alpha chains.

D001485 Basement Membrane A darkly stained mat-like EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX (ECM) that separates cell layers, such as EPITHELIUM from ENDOTHELIUM or a layer of CONNECTIVE TISSUE. The ECM layer that supports an overlying EPITHELIUM or ENDOTHELIUM is called basal lamina. Basement membrane (BM) can be formed by the fusion of either two adjacent basal laminae or a basal lamina with an adjacent reticular lamina of connective tissue. BM, composed mainly of TYPE IV COLLAGEN; glycoprotein LAMININ; and PROTEOGLYCAN, provides barriers as well as channels between interacting cell layers.
