Abstract
The collagenous polypeptides present in embryonic chick sternal and tibiotarsal cartilages have been solubilised by digestion with pepsin and separated by salt fractionation. Type II collagen, 1 alpha 2 alpha 3 alpha collagen, and two polypeptides (apparent molecular mass 150 and 42 kDa), which were reducible to a number of smaller peptides, were extracted from both tissues. However, also present in the peptic digests of tibiotarsal cartilages was a major non-reducible highly-soluble polypeptide of 45 kDa. This short-chain collagen is apparently identical to the pepsinized product of G collagen (Mr 59 000), a major low-Mr procollagen-like species previously detected in chick chondrocyte cultures.
