The Biochemistry Behind Collagen Synthesis In The Human Body

Wedo know of collagen as this structural protein in our body. It’s a protein that supports the structure of our <a href="https://www.webmd.com/diet/collagen-health-benefits" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">skin</a> and our <a href="https://www.statnews.com/2022/01/20/painfully-weak-evidence-supporting-collagen-supplements-for-arthritis/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">joints</a>. We can find it in our <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/23089-collagen" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">bones</a>. It even seals off the <a href="https://academic.oup.com/cardiovascres/article/41/2/376/307117" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">atherosclerotic plaques</a> that are prevalent in heart disease patients. Of course, collagen is a protein like any other protein in the body. There are many different types of <a href="https://www.ajinomoto.com/aboutus/amino-acids/20-amino-acids" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">amino acids</a> in the body, and a combination of them will result in the synthesis of a protein molecule. Specific combinations yield specific types of proteins, and collagen is no exception to that. Of course, there are multiple <a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/collagen#what-it-does" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">types</a> of collagen present in our body, each having their own part to play in how the body functions. <a href="https://medium.com/beingwell/the-biochemistry-behind-collagen-synthesis-in-the-human-body-e5c30b35fca4">Visit Now</a>
