Tóm tắt

Affinity chromatography on Sepharose 4B-collagen gels was used to test the affinity of alkaline phosphatase for collagen. Results indicate that 1) alkaline phosphatase of preosseous cartilage binds to collagen probably by electrostatic interactions, 2) this interaction is inhibited by proteoglycan subunits. These results suggest that, in vivo, the formation of a collagen-alkaline phosphatase complex may be a step of the process leading to cartilage calcification.
