Collagen type I alpha 1 (COL1A1) encodes the pro-alpha1 chains of type I collagen, the predominant structural protein in the extracellular matrix of connective tissues including bone, tendon, ligament and skin. As such, it plays a pivotal role in tissues that endure mechanical stress such as bone, where type I collagen comprises 90% of the organic matrix.
