Formally, the monomers are called collagen type III, alpha-1 chain and in humans are encoded by the COL3A1 gene. Type III collagen is one of the fibrillar collagens whose proteins have a long, inflexible, triple-helical domain.

Type III collagen is one of the fibrillar collagens whose proteins have a long, inflexible, triple-helical domain. Type III collagen is synthesized by cells as a pre-procollagen.
