The low MW collagen (64 K) synthesized by chick embryo chondrocytes in culture is deposited in the extracellular matrix; its deposition is strictly dependent upon a correct hydroxylation. In vivo the 64 K collagen was isolated from the cartilage of tibiae obtained from 17-day-old chick embryos. The turnover of this collagen in the extracellular matrix is very rapid: within a few hours it is matured into a 30 K fragment released in the medium. This maturation is dependent upon a correct hydroxylation of the molecule. The underhydroxylated form, synthesized in the absence of ascorbic acid or in the presence of .alpha.-.alpha.'' dipyridyl, is not deposited in the extracellular matrix and is directly secreted as 64 K collagen in the culture medium.
