context_page_description: Scleroproteins or fibrous proteins is one of the three main classification of protein structure. Scleroprotein are made up by elongated or fibrous polypeptide chains which form filamentous and sheet like structure. These kind of protein can be distinguished from globular protein by its low solubility in water. The roles of such proteins include protection and structural role by forming connective tissue, tendons, bone matrices, and muscle fiber.
  Scleroprotein consist of many superfamilies including keratin, collagen, elastin, and fibroin. Collagen is the most abundant protein which exists in vertebrae animal as tendon, cartilage and bone.
