Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

Any collagen polymer in which collagen triple helices associate to form sheet-like networks. A structure lying external to one or more cells, which provides structural support for cells or tissues; may be completely external to the cell (as in animals) or be part of the cell (as in plants). Any collagen polymer that passes through a lipid bilayer membrane. Any of the various assemblies in which collagen chains form a left-handed triple helix; may assemble into higher order structures. Any collagen polymer which links one collagen assembly, such as a collagen fibril or sheet, to other structures. A layer consisting mainly of proteins (especially collagen) and glycosaminoglycans (mostly as proteoglycans) that forms a sheet underlying or overlying cells such as endothelial and epithelial cells. The proteins are secreted by cells in the vicinity. An example of this component is found in Mus musculus. Any collagen polymer in which collagen triple helices associate to form fibrils. A collagen homotrimer of alpha1(XV) chains; a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan often found in specialized basement membranes. Any constituent part of the extracellular matrix, the structure lying external to one or more cells, which provides structural support for cells or tissues; may be completely external to the cell (as in animals) or be part of the cell (as often seen in plants). Any constituent part of the extracellular region, the space external to the outermost structure of a cell. For cells without external protective or external encapsulating structures this refers to space outside of the plasma membrane. This term covers constituent parts of the host cell environment outside an intracellular parasite.
