NCIt definition : Type III procollagen N-terminal peptide (130 aa, 13 kDa) is encoded by the human
COL3A1 gene. This protein is produced by the cleavage of procollagen chains. Once
the N-terminal peptides are removed, triple helical collagen fibrils can form. Increased
serum levels of this peptide are associated with liver diseases.;
