In tooth, collagen is also the major organic constituent of dentin and cementum, but there is no collagen in enamel. Collagen is the same protein that gives flexibility to ligaments and ten-
MATRIX: Consists of FIBERS + GROUND SUBSTANCE. Ground Substance: Consists of Proteoglycans non-covalently linked to hyaluronic acid. CORE Protein is covalently attached, via Link Proteins, to Keratan Sulfate and/or Chondroitin Sulfate. Many Core Proteins are non-covalently linked to Hyaluronic Acid.
