Bovine Collagen Type VI protein purified from bovine placenta. 

Collagen Type VI is the major collagenous component of microfibrils in elastic fibers and in a larger variety of tissues including cartilage, skin, blood vessels (intima), cornea, placenta, uterus, ciliary body, iris, and others. The Collagen Type VI molecule is a highly glycosylated, cysteine-rich heterotrimer consisting of two α-chains of ca. 1000 amino acid residues (α1(VI) and α2(VI)), and the long α3(VI) chain with about 3000 amino acid residues; the short triple helical core accounts only for about 20% of the molecule.
