Vitamin C deficiency causes scurvy because it is required for the synthesis of hyrdoxyproline which, along with proline and glycine, makes up most of this protein.
This protein is not affected in Williams syndrome, but lysyl oxidase produces aldehyde groups important to its function. Integrins serve as cell surface receptors to fibronectin and this protein, and mutations in genes coding for this protein affect glomorular structure and kidney activity in Alport syndrome. Vitamin C deficiency causes scurvy because it is required for the synthesis of hyrdoxyproline which, along with proline and glycine, makes up most of this protein. This protein is made up of a left handed triple helix, and this protein mineralizes to form bone. For 10 points, name this most abundant protein in the human body, which makes up most connective tissue.
