  2. Collagen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collagen

    Collagen has an unusual amino acid composition and sequence: Glycine is found at almost every third residue. Proline makes up about 17% of collagen. Collagen contains two unusual derivative amino acids not directly inserted during translation. These amino acids are found at specific locations relative to glycine and are modified post ...

    Creatine peptides promote the release of hormones that influence one's exercise performance, muscle recovery and body composition, which is why some athletes are drawn to the amino acids. Other ...

  4. Fibrous protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrous_protein

    Such proteins serve protective and structural roles by forming connective tissue, tendons, bone matrices, and muscle fiber. Fibrous proteins consist of many families including keratin, collagen, elastin, fibrin or spidroin. Collagen is the most abundant of these proteins which exists in vertebrate connective tissue including tendon, cartilage ...

  5. Elastin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastin

    Elastin serves an important function in arteries as a medium for pressure wave propagation to help blood flow and is particularly abundant in large elastic blood vessels such as the aorta. Elastin is also very important in the lungs , elastic ligaments , elastic cartilage , the skin , and the bladder .

  6. Collagen, type III, alpha 1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collagen,_type_III,_alpha_1

    The triple-helical conformation, which is a characteristic feature of all fibrillar collagens, is possible because of the presence of glycine as every third amino acid in the sequence of about 1000 amino acids. When the right-handed super-helix is formed, the glycine residues of each of the monomers are positioned at the center of the super ...

  7. Collagen VI - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collagen_VI

    Collagen VI (ColVI) is a type of collagen primarily associated with the extracellular matrix of skeletal muscle. [1] ColVI maintains regularity in muscle function and stabilizes the cell membrane. [ 2 ]
