Fibrous protein
constitutes one of the three main types of proteins (alongside globular and membrane proteins). There are many scleroprotein superfamilies including keratin, collagen, elastin, and fibroin
A fibrous protein or scleroprotein is one of the three main types of proteins.[1] The others are globular and membrane proteins).[2]
There are many types of scleroprotein, such as keratin, collagen, elastin, and fibroin. Such proteins protect and support. They form connective tissue, tendons, bone matrices, and muscle fibre.
