== Function == Fibrous proteins are usually static molecules and play important structural roles in the anatomy and physiology of vertebrates, providing external protection, support, shape, and form.
== Disease == Fibrous dysplasia is an uncommon bone disorder in which scar-like (fibrous) tissue develops in place of normal bone.
== Relevance == A Fibrous protein is a protein with an elongated shape. Fibrous proteins provide structural support for cells and tissues
== Structural highlights == They are made up of polypeptide chains that are elongated and fibrous in nature or have a sheet like structure. These fibers and sheets are mechanically strong and are water insoluble.
