from collagen taken from animal body parts. It is brittle when dry and rubbery when moist. It may also be referred to as hydrolyzed collagen, collagen hydrolysate

preferentially binds collagens IV, VI and type XIII collagen, but also fibril-forming collagens. Specific binding sites in collagen I and IV have been identified

fibrosis. Type V Collagens isoform which contains the α3(V) chain is involved in mediating pancreatic islet cell functions. Type V Collagens will arrange

proteins, or antibodies raised against collagens. Unfortunately, these compounds cannot target denatured collagens which are unstructured and do not present

Connective tissue diseases (also termed connective tissue disorders, or collagen vascular diseases), are medical conditions that affect connective tissue

Collagen disease is a term previously used to describe systemic autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and systemic
