Cell and Tissue Research, 2009 The collagens represent a family of trimeric extracellular matrix molecules used by cells for structural integrity and other functions. The three alpha chains that form the triple helical part of the molecule are composed of repeating peptide triplets of glycine-X-Y.

Collagen propeptides as indicators of collagen assembly [PDF]
Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1995 It is old knowledge that bones are for about 70% made up of calcium salts and for about 30% of collagen. More specifically, almost all of the collagen in the collagen fibres of mineralized tissues is type I collagen, while most of the other almost 20 genetically distinct collagen types are essentially proteins of soft tissues.

The Anatomical Record, 2002 AbstractThe extracellular matrix is often defined as the substance that gives multicellular organisms (from plants to vertebrates) their structural integrity, and is intimately involved in their development. Although the general functions of extracellular matrices are comparable, their compositions are quite distinct.

Collagens and collagen-related diseases
Annals of Medicine, 2001 The collagen superfamily of proteins plays a dominant role in maintaining the integrity of various tissues and also has a number of other important functions. The superfamily now includes more than 20 collagen types with altogether at least 38 distinct polypeptide chains, and more than 15 additional proteins that have collagen-like domains.

The Structures of Collagen [PDF]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 1954 Collagen is the name given to a very important group of similar, but not identical, components of human and other animal bodies. It is the principal component of our skin and of the connective tissue holding different parts of our bodies together. There has been a large amount of research, by many good scientists, on the structures of collagen, but I ...
