What is Extracellular Matrix: Main Types of Collegen about?
The Extracellular Matrix (ECM) consists of structural proteins, specialized proteins, and ground substances, with collagen being a key structural protein characterized by a triple helix structure. Elastin provides extensibility and elastic recoil, while fibronectin facilitates cell adhesion to the ECM. Glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans play important roles in hydration and lubrication, with disorders like Osteogenesis Imperfecta affecting collagen synthesis and resulting in fragile bones.
