The study successfully isolated and characterized type III collagen from human adult lung parenchyma, detailing its molecular weight and electrophoretic properties.
McLees et al. (1977) studied this question. Isolation of type III collagen was evaluated on Characterization of type III collagen. Type III collagen was successfully isolated from adult human lung parenchyma and characterized by its intramolecular disulfide cross-links, amino acid composition, and molecular weight of 93,000.
