Type 2 collagen is the main component of the extracellular matrix of the cartilage. It accounts for 50% of the cartilage protein. Type 2 collagen exists in the cartilage matrix crosslinked with the proteoglycans. Collagen 2 is also found in vertebral disks, inner ear and the vitreous. Collagen 2 is composed of three pro alpha1 chains. The COL2A1 gene is encoded for the expression of type 2 collagen in the body. Type 2 collagen synthesis is reduced with age and is taken as oral supplements for joint and cartilage health.
