Collagen is a structural triple-helix protein found in connective tissues. Industrial extraction utilizes acid, enzymatic, or pepsin digestion of bovine, porcine, or marine sources. The generic molecular formula varies by source and hydroxylation level; no single CAS number exists for the polymer class.
Storage requires desiccated conditions at 2-8°C to prevent microbial degradation. Clinical use mandates screening for bovine/porcine allergies to avoid hypersensitivity reactions. Strict adherence to GMP standards is essential during purification.
