Jul 01, 2020 | Chemical Pathology
Type III collagen is an important component of connective tissue. N-terminal procollagen-III peptide (P3NP) is a cleavage product of the precursor of Type III collagen and is formed in equimolar proportions to Type III collagen. Serum levels of P3NP can therefore be used as a measure of Type III collagen and reflects the rate of extracellular matrix synthesis or breakdown....
