Heterogeneity in proline hydroxylation of fibrillar collagens observed by mass spectrometry.

Collagen is the major protein in the extracellular matrix and plays vital roles in tissue development and function. Collagen is also one of the most processed proteins in its biosynthesis. The most prominent post-translational modification (PTM) of collagen is the hydroxylation of Pro residues in th...
