Type XXVII collagen explained

Type XXVII collagen is the protein predicted to be encoded by COL27A1.[1] It was first described by Dr. James M. Pace and his colleagues at the University of Washington. It is related to the fibrillar collagens: type II, type XI, and type XXIV. Current research suggests that it is made by cartilage during skeletal development.[2]
