Collagen receptors are membrane proteins that bind the extracellular matrix protein collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals.[1] They control mainly cell proliferation, migration and adhesion, coagulation cascade activation and they affect ECM structure by regulation of MMP (matrix metalloproteinases).
There are at least eight human collagen receptors.[2]
