Figure 6.
Composite of gene structures of fibrillar collagen N-propeptide and C-propeptide domains, derived
from the data of Välkkilä et al. (2001) and Pace et al. (2003) with permission of Elsevier. The very major
differences in the N-propeptide domains and N-telopeptide domains, linked to extracellular organization, in
contrast to the similar structures of the C-propeptide domains, related to intracellular molecular assembly, are
evident. The N-propeptide differences are the basis for the division into distinct clades.
