type I collagen
Bone matrix protein
Type I collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, forming the structural framework of skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue.
It consists of triple-helix molecules that bundle into fibers, providing tensile strength and support.
Medical and cosmlagen supplements and treatments often target type I collagen for skin elasticity and wound healing.
The biopsy revealed normal type I collagen distribution in the dermis.
