| collagen |
a fibrous protein occurring in bone, cartilage and connective tissue. It is a major structural protein, forming molecular cables that strengthen the tendons and vast, resilient sheets that support the skin and internal organs. There is no organ or tissue which does not have collagen. Collagen acts as the important support structure in tissues around which cells live and function. Bones and teeth are made by adding mineral crystals to collagen.
