Genetic defects of collagen genes; Type: Notes: Gene(s) Disorders: I: This is the most abundant collagen of the human body. It is present in scar tissue, the end product when tissue heals by repair. It is found in tendons, skin, artery walls, cornea, the endomysium surrounding muscle fibers, fibrocartilage, and the organic part of bones and ...
Hyaline cartilage is the most common kind of cartilage in the human body. [2] It is primarily composed of type II collagen and proteoglycans. [2] Hyaline cartilage is located in the trachea, nose, epiphyseal plate, sternum, and ribs. [2] Hyaline cartilage is covered externally by a fibrous membrane known as the perichondrium. [2]
Collagen alpha-4(IV) chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COL4A4 gene. [5] [6] This gene encodes one of the six subunits of type IV collagen, the major structural component of basement membranes. This particular collagen IV subunit, however, is only found in a subset of basement membranes.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the ECM, and is the most abundant protein in the human body. [17] [18] It accounts for 90% of bone matrix protein content. [19] Collagens are present in the ECM as fibrillar proteins and give structural support to resident cells.
Type I collagen is the type that comprises more than 90 percent of the collagen in the human body and provides structure to skin, bones, ligaments, and tendons, she explains. Type II forms the ...

Collagen IV (ColIV or Col4) is a type of collagen found primarily in the basal lamina. The collagen IV C4 domain at the C-terminus is not removed in post-translational processing, and the fibers link head-to-head, rather than in parallel. Also, collagen IV lacks the regular glycine in every third residue necessary for the tight, collagen helix ...
Type I collagen is the most abundant collagen of the human body, consisting of around 90% of the body's total collagen in vertebrates. Due to this, it is also the most abundant protein type found in all vertebrates. Type I forms large, eosinophilic fibers known as collagen fibers, which make up most of the rope-like dense connective tissue in ...
