collagens
Connective tissue proteins
Collagens are the most abundant proteins in the human body, forming the structural framework of connective tissues—skin, tendons, cartilage, bones.
The plural typically appears in scientific contexts distinguishing between the many types: Type I and type III collagens are found in skin.
In everyday speech, the singular collagen dominates, especially in skincare and supplement marketing.
