TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityIn papillary dermis, is a component of specialized fibrillin-1-containing microfibrils, whereas in territorial cartilage matrix, it is localized to a discrete population of thin, weakly banded collagen fibrils in association with other collagens (at protein level). In the placenta, where it is found in the amnion, a membranous tissue lining the amniotic cavity. Within the amnion, it is found in an acellular, relatively dense layer of a complex network of reticular fibers. Also located to a fibroblast layer beneath this dense layer. Exists in tissues in association with other types of collagen. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12782140}.
