" /> C-Telopeptide of Type I Collagen Generated by Matrix Metalloproteinases - CISMeF





Preferred Label : C-Telopeptide of Type I Collagen Generated by Matrix Metalloproteinases;

NCIt synonyms : Cross-Linked C-Terminal Telopeptide of Type I Collagen Generated by Matrix Metalloproteinases; 1CTP; ICTP; MMP-Generated C-Terminal Telopeptide Type 1 Collagen; CTX-MMP;

NCIt definition : This polypeptide is comprised of the carboxy-terminal portions of fibrillar collagen, which are joined through trivalent crosslinks and released during the degradation of mature type I collagen by matrix metalloproteinases. Increased serum concentrations of these peptides are associated with pathologies that cause bone lysis, such as multiple myeloma, osteolytic metastases, and rheumatoid arthritis. Increased blood levels of these peptides are associated with renal insufficiency.;

NCIt note : Triple helical collagen is constructed from more than one gene product; thus, C-telopeptides arise from heterogeneous sources.;
