The collagen protein is composed of a triple helix, which generally consists of two identical chains (α1) and an additional chain that differs slightly in its chemical composition (α2). [23] The amino acid composition of collagen is atypical for proteins, particularly with respect to its high hydroxyproline content.

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 ...
Collagen, type I, alpha 1, also known as alpha-1 type I collagen, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COL1A1 gene. COL1A1 encodes the major component of type I collagen , the fibrillar collagen found in most connective tissues , including cartilage .
Collagen alpha-3(V) chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COL5A3 gene. [5] [6] This gene encodes an alpha chain for one of the low abundance fibrillar collagens. Fibrillar collagen molecules are trimers that can be composed of one or more types of alpha chains.

After the chains are formed, they arrange into thin fibrils. These collagen fibrils then assort with type I collagen fibrils. [3] Type V collagen is a part of the Extracellular Matrix (ECM). [5] Collagen V is gene expression modulated by TGF-β. Type V collagen has shown that it is resistant to digestion by interstitial collagenases.
Collagen alpha-3(VI) chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COL6A3 gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] This protein is an alpha chain of type VI collagen that aids in microfibril formation. [ 8 ] As part of type VI collagen, this protein has been implicated in Bethlem myopathy, Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD), and other diseases ...
