Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.BackgroundSubcellular LocalizationCollagen type III occurs in most soft connective tissues along with type I collagen. Involved in regulation of cortical development. Is the major ligand of GPR56 in the developing brain and binding to GPR56 inhibits neuronal migration and activates the RhoA pathway by coupling GPR56 to GNA13 and possibly GNA12. Tissue Specificity: Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix.
