Q15 - Organic molecules and their functions

Collagen is a protein that is: A) extracellular B) membranous C) intracellular D) abundant in the thick filament E) nuclear
Pinned

The correct answer is A) extracellular.

Collagen is made by cells like fibroblasts but works outside the cell, in the extracellular matrix of skin, tendons, cartilage and bone. It's the most abundant protein in the body.

The thick filaments in muscle (D) are myosin, not collagen.
