Our understanding of the biochemical structure and physiologic role of the collagen protein family has undergone significant advances during the past decade. It is now appreciated that these proteins are responsible for an impressive array of functions, in addition to the maintenance of tissue mechanical strength. Collagen imparts structure to basement membranes, provides information to cells to elicit a specific cellular phenotype, and provides crucial signals during embryogenesis for the appropriate migration and phenotypic expression of cells. This review will attempt to summarize a few aspects of the field of collagen biochemistry, to provide a glimpse at this rapidly expanding area of study.
