What is GFOGER?
A high-affinity type I collagen integrin-binding motif containing hydroxyproline. It is heavily used in biomaterials to promote cell attachment, osteoblast behavior, and matrix organization.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
osteoblast adhesion
biomaterial signaling
matrix formation
Research Summary
GFOGER is a canonical collagen I recognition sequence for collagen-binding integrins, especially in biomaterials and tissue-engineering literature. It is one of the best-characterized collagen motifs for controlling cell adhesion on engineered surfaces.
Related Peptides
Pro-Gly-Pro
L-Prolyl-glycyl-L-proline
A collagen-breakdown tripeptide generated during matrix proteolysis, especially from collagen-rich tissues. It is best known as a neutrophil chemoattractant and a biomarker of collagen turnover.
Collagen PeptidesDGEA
Asp-Gly-Glu-Ala
A type I collagen-derived tetrapeptide used in cell-adhesion and bone-biology research. It interacts with collagen-related signaling pathways and is commonly studied in scaffolds and wound-healing models.
Collagen PeptidesGPH
Glycyl-L-prolyl-L-hydroxyproline
A collagen-derived tripeptide commonly detected after oral collagen hydrolysate intake. It is studied as a circulating marker peptide and for possible extracellular-matrix signaling.
Collagen PeptidesPH
L-prolyl-L-hydroxyproline
A major bioavailable dipeptide from collagen hydrolysate and gelatin digestion. It has been repeatedly detected in blood after oral collagen intake.
