Product Specific Information:

What can the COL2 antibody ABIN5596824 be used for? This polyclonal, unconjugated Rabbit COL2 Antibody is suitable for the detection of Collagen Type 2 (COL2) by ELISA, immunohistochemistry, immuniprecipitation and Western blotting. The antibody recognizes COL2 in human, mouse, rat, bovine, sheep and other mammals.

What validation data is available for this COL2 antibody? The product was independently validated by NanoTemper Technologies by determining the unfolding profile. There are currently 2 product images available showing the performance of the COL2 antibody. Use our antibody to reliably detect COL2.

What is the function of COL2? Collagen Type 2 (COL2) is specific for cartilaginous tissues. It is essential for the normal embryonic development of the skeleton, for linear growth and for the ability of cartilage to resist compressive forces.

Full Methods

Full Protocol:

• Dilute ABIN5596824 in PBS buffer (Roth, 1058.1, Lot 285231988) to get a final volume of 30µl at a concentration of 0.1µM.
• Load sample into Tycho capillary (NanoTemper Technologies, TY-C001).
• Run Tycho measurement.

Experimental Notes:

Tycho is designed to run quick and precise protein quality check experiments. Tycho uses intrinsic protein fluorescence to follow protein unfolding while running a fast thermal ramp, yielding results in 3min. A protein’s unfolding behavior is characterized by various parameters, most notably the inflection temperature (T_i). The T_i can be used to identify properly folded protein, to compare different batches, or to analyze the influence of storage/transport conditions on a protein. An absence of T_i would suggest that the protein is already unfolded and therefore most likely nonfunctional.

Target Details for COL2A1

Target: COL2A1 (Collagen, Type II, alpha 1 (COL2A1))

Alternative Name: COL2A1

Background: Background: Collagens are highly conserved throughout evolution and are characterized by an uninterrupted ''Glycine-X-Y'' triplet repeat that is a necessary part of the triple helical structure. For these reasons, it is often extremely difficult to generate antibodies with specificities to collagens. The development of 'type' specific antibodies is dependent on NON-DENATURED three-dimensional epitopes. Rockland extensively purifies collagens for immunization from human and bovine placenta and cartilage by limited pepsin digestion and selective salt precipitation. This preparation results in a native conformation of the protein. Antibodies are isolated from rabbit antiserum and are extensively cross-adsorbed by immunoaffinity purification to produce 'type' specific antibodies. Greatly diminished reactivity and selectivity of these antibodies will result if denaturing and reducing conditions are used for SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting. Ideal for investigators involved in Cell Biology, Signal Transduction and Stem Cell research.
