Abstract
The author makes an analysis of literature dedicated to collagen, and describes collagen and its functions in the body. It is emphasized that besides the supporting function collagen also performs informational and regulatory functions, and plays an important role in morphogenesis and cutaneous sensitivity.Keywords
