Collagen
Outside the cell Registration peptides are cleaved and tropocollagen is formed by procollagen peptidase. Multiple tropocollagen ... which will eventually undergo covalent bonding between tropocollagen molecules. This polymer of tropocollagen is known as a ... Formation of tropocollagen: Once outside the cell, membrane bound enzymes known as collagen peptidases, remove the "loose ends ... What is left is known as tropocollagen. Defects in this step produce one of the many collagenopathies known as Ehlers-Danlos ...
