title: cDNA and protein sequence of the NC1 domain of the alpha 2-chain of collagen IV and its comparison with alpha 1(IV).
abstract: We present the complete cDNA and derived amino acid sequence of the non-collagenous domain NC1 of alpha 2(IV). Comparison with the corresponding NC1 domain of alpha 1(IV) reveals a high degree of homology at the protein level, in contrast to the barely homologous triple-helical sequences of both chains.
