| Name: | collagen biosynthetic process |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | collagen anabolism, collagen biosynthesis, collagen formation, collagen synthesis |
| Definition: | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of collagen, any of a group of fibrous proteins of very high tensile strength that form the main component of connective tissue in animals.
