Fibrillar collagens, such as COL27A1, compose one of the most ancient families of extracellular matrix molecules.

They form major structural elements in extracellular matrices of cartilage, skin, and tendon.

[5][7] COL27A1 is located on chromosome 9 in homo sapiens specifically on spot number 32.
