  • What Is Collagen?
    What is Collagen? Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and is as diverse as it is multifunctional (1). It is found throughout the body in a variety of forms and functions making up 30 percent of your body tissue and 70 % of your skin tissue. Specifically, collagen is the protein in connective tissue that is in bone marrow, tendons, cartilage, ligaments, and linings of your body organs. It is often referred to as the glue of the body. (1) Hydrolyzed collagen means the protein has been broken down into individual amino acids which are easier for the body to absorb. Collagen serves to help repair tissue and also functions in various roles throughout the body. Collagen and the Body Locations of Collagen: What Does Collagen Do? Collagen has numerous structural properties but also plays a vital role in the repair of almost all the body’s tissues. Some diseases are directly linked to lacking this essential protein. Depending on which part of the body it is located, collagen serves different purposes. In skin: Found in the inner layer, this connective tissue gives the skin its structure and strength and also functions in the replacement of dead skin cells. A lack of collagen in the skin can contribute to a decrease in skin health leading to stretch marks, dark spots, and infections as well as affecting the skin’s ability to maintain moisture. In internal organs and blood vessels: In the lining of your organs like in the stomach, kidneys, blood vessels and spleen, collagen functions as a protective covering and a fibrous barrier.

The most abundant family is the collagens with more than 20 different collagen types identified so far. Collagens are centrally involved in the formation of fibrillar and microfibrillar networks of the extracellular matrix, basement membranes as well as other structures of the extracellular matrix. This review focuses on the distribution and function of various collagen types in different tissues. It introduces their basic structural subunits and points out major steps in the biosynthesis and supramolecular processing of fibrillar collagens as prototypical members of this protein family. A final outlook indicates the importance of different collagen types not only for the understanding of collagen-related diseases, but also as a basis for the therapeutical use of members of this protein family discussed in other chapters of this issue.

Marshall 1 and Elena García-Gareta 2,* 1 Biology Department, St. Francis Xavier University, Antigonish, NS B2G 2W5, Canada 2 Regenerative Biomaterials Group, The RAFT Institute, Mount Vernon Hospital, Northwood HA6 2RN, UK * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-(0)-1923844350 Received: 23 May 2019; Accepted: 26 June 2019; Published: 30 June 2019 Abstract: Collagen is the most frequently used protein in the fields of biomaterials and regenerative medicine. Within the skin, collagen type I and III are the most abundant, while collagen type VII is associated with pathologies of the dermal–epidermal junction. The focus of this review is mainly collagens I and III, with a brief overview of collagen VII. Currently, the majority of collagen is extracted from animal sources; however, animal-derived collagen has a number of shortcomings, including immunogenicity, batch-to-batch variation, and pathogenic contamination. Recombinant collagen is a potential solution to the aforementioned issues, although production of correctly post-translationally modified recombinant human collagen has not yet been performed at industrial scale. This review provides an overview of current collagen sources, associated shortcomings, and potential resolutions. Recombinant expression systems are discussed, as well as the issues associated with each method of expression. Keywords: collagen; collagen sources; recombinant collagen; biomaterials; regenerative medicine; tissue engineering; wound healing; skin 1. Introduction 1.1. The Molecular Structure of Collagen The 28 different collagen types of the collagen superfamily are further divided into eight subfamilies, with the majority of the collagen types belonging to the fibril-forming or fibrillar subfamily [1,2].
