| h English (en) | ==Characteristics== Collagen is one of the long, [[fibrous protein|fibrous structural proteins]] whose functions are quite different from those of [[globular protein]]s, such as [[enzyme]]s. Tough bundles of collagen called ''collagen fibers'' are a major component of the [[extracellular matrix]] that supports most tissues and gives cells structure from the outside, but collagen is also found inside certain cells. Collagen has great [[tensile strength]], and is the main component of [[fascia]], [[cartilage]], [[ligament]]s, [[tendon]]s, [[bone]] and skin. Along with [[elastin]] and soft [[keratin]], it is responsible for skin strength and elasticity, and its degradation leads to [[wrinkle]]s that accompany [[aging]]. It strengthens [[blood vessel]]s and plays a role in [[biological tissue|tissue]] development. It is present in the [[cornea]] and lens of the eye in [[crystal]]line form. It may be one of the most abundant proteins in the fossil record, given that it appears to fossilize frequently, even in bones from the [[Mesozoic]] and [[Paleozoic]]. |
| h Japanese (ja) | ==特徴{{Anchor|Characteristics}}== コラーゲンは長い[[fibrous protein/ja|繊維構造タンパク質]]の一つであり、その機能は[[enzyme/ja|酵素]]などの[[globular protein/ja|球状タンパク質]]とは全く異なる。''コラーゲン線維''と呼ばれる丈夫なコラーゲンの束は、ほとんどの組織を支え、細胞に外側から構造を与える[[extracellular matrix/ja|細胞外マトリックス]]の主要な構成要素であるが、コラーゲンはある種の細胞内部にも存在する。コラーゲンは大きな[[tensile strength/ja|引っ張り強度]]を持ち、[[fascia/ja|筋膜]]、[[cartilage/ja|軟骨]]、[[ligament/ja|靭帯]]、[[tendon/ja|腱]]、[[bone/ja|骨]]、皮膚の主成分である。[[elastin/ja|エラスチン]]や柔らかい[[keratin/ja|ケラチン]]とともに皮膚の強度と弾力性を担っており、その劣化は[[aging/ja|老化]]に伴う[[wrinkle/ja|しわ]]の原因となる。[[blood vessel/ja|血管]]を強化し、[[biological tissue/ja|組織]]の発達に関与する。眼の[[cornea/ja|角膜]]や水晶体には[[crystal/ja|結晶]]線状で存在する。[[Mesozoic/ja|中生代]]や[[Paleozoic/ja|古生代]]の骨でも頻繁に化石化することから、化石記録では最も豊富なタンパク質の1つかもしれない。 |
