N-Telopeptide
This polypeptide is comprised of the amino terminal portions of fibrillar collagen, which are not part of the triple helical structure. Bone resorption of type I collagen by osteoclasts results in the release of this peptide. Thus, this polypeptide is utilized as a biomarker for bone loss. (NCI Thesaurus)
