The two main components of the extracellular matrix are Elastin and Collagen.
The extracellular matrix is an intricate macromolecular network that is found in the extracellular space. The matrix is composed of polysaccharides and very diverse proteins, locally secreted and assembled forming a complex network that surrounds the cells. The matrix is highly developed in connective tissue and its derivatives. The extracellular matrix is formed mainly by proteins, glycosaminoglycans,proteoglycans and glycoproteins, organized in diverse networks that constitute the different tissues. <em>The most abundant proteins are collagen and elastin.</em>
Collagen is a family of very abundant proteins in the body of animals. Collagen molecules can represent 25 to 30 % of all body proteins. Its main mission in the tissues is to form a framework that supports the tissues and that resists the forces of mechanical tension.
The elastin molecules are very close to each other through links between the regions rich in the amino acid lysine. It is an abundant protein in may extracellular matrices and appears as a component of the so called elastic fibers, which are onsoluble aggregates of proteins.
Keep it in an aerobic environment, meaning that there should be oxygen present. Fermentation is anaerobic, hence aerobic conditions will prevent fermentation from occurring.
Let "r" stand for the recessive red hair trait. A person with red hair must have a genotype of "rr" ( one from each parent) in order to have red hair( red hair being the phenotype).
Let "B" stand for brown hair and "b" stand for not brown hair. A person with brown hair can have a genotype of "Bb" or "BB" and have a phenotype of Brown hair. This is becasue brown hair "B" is the dominant trait.
<span>Cell bodies of preganglionic neurons reside in the brain stem or spinal cord. Preganglionic neurons stimulate postganglionic neurons. i think hope it helps X)</span>
The large majority of spiral galaxies are flat, rotating disks. Within the disk, there are stars, dust, and gas. The disk also contains spiral arms and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge of the galaxy.
