Bovine epiphysial cartilage synthesizes both proteoglycan (PG) and non-PG forms of type IX collagen in a ratio of approx. 2:1. The PG form with its attached glycosaminoglycan on the alpha 2(IX) chain is the major form in the medium, whereas both forms are found in the tissue. The results are discussed with regard to cartilage matrix organization.
牛骺软骨合成蛋白聚糖(PG)和IX型胶原蛋白的非PG形式,其比例约为2:1。在α2(IX)链上带有附着糖胺聚糖的PG形式是培养基中的主要形式,而两种形式都存在于组织中。就软骨基质组织对结果进行了讨论。
