Collagen is the main structural protein in the extracellular space and is the most abundant protein in the ECM. Collagens are divided into two classes - fibril (types I, II, III, V) and non-fibril (types IV, VI). Type I collagen is the most abundant collagen and is expressed in almost all connective tissues including skin, tendon, and bone tissue. It is also the predominant component of the interstitial matrix. Type I collagen mutations are associated in a range of diseases including osteogenesis imperfecta and Ehlersa€''Danlos syndrome. Type I collagen consists of two alpha1(I) chains and one alpha2(I) chain.
