" /> CTX - CISMeF





Preferred Label : CTX;

NCIt synonyms : Cross-Linked C-Terminal Telopeptide of Type I Collagen; C-Terminal Telopeptide Type 1 Collagen; C-Telopeptide; C-Terminal Telopeptide Type I Collagen; CTXI; CTX-I; Collagen Type 1 Cross-linked C-Telopeptide;

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 cathepsin K. Serum concentrations of these peptides can be correlated with the rate of bone metabolism.;

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