Tendon collagen is the primary structural protein forming the extracellular matrix of tendons, providing tensile strength and elasticity essential for transmitting muscle forces to bone. Its integrity is crucial for tendon function and repair, influencing recovery from injuries such as tendinopathy. Alterations in tendon collagen synthesis or degradation can lead to weakened tendons, increasing the risk of rupture or chronic pain.
