Figure 1 Generation of Collagen Type I Fibers

Schematic representation of the steps involved in the synthesis and processing of collagen type I molecules. DNA = deoxyribonucleic acid; PCP = procollagen type I carboxy-terminal proteinase; PCPE = procollagen type I carboxy-terminal proteinase enhancer; PICP = carboxy-terminal propeptide of procollagen type I.
