Structural Organization and Expression Patterns of the Human and Mouse Genes for the Type I Procollagen COOH-Terminal Proteinase Enhancer Protein

·doi:10.1006/geno.1998.5663

The procollagen C-proteinase enhancer (PCPE) is a glycoprotein that potentiates enzymatic cleavage of the type I procollagen C-propeptide by bone morphogenetic protein-1 (BMP-1). The human PCPE gene (PCOLCE) was previously mapped to 7q22, a…
