Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunoprecipitation (IP)
Characteristics
Rabbit polyclonal Collagen Type VI antibody (biotin) conjugated Bioactivity: Some class specific anti-collagens may be specific for three-dimensional epitopes which may result in diminished reactivity with denatured collagen or formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissues
Purification
Affinity chromatography purified
Immunogen
Collagen type VI antibody was raised in rabbit using collagen type VI from human and bovine placenta as the immunogen.
Collagen is a group of naturally occurring proteins found, in nature, exclusively in animals, especially in the flesh and connective tissues of mammals. It is the main component of connective tissue, and is the most abundant protein in mammals, making up about 25% to 35% of the whole-body protein content. Collagen alpha-1(VI) chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COL6A1 gene. Collagen VI is a major structural component of microfibrils. The basic structural unit of collagen VI is a heterotrimer of the alpha1(VI), alpha2(VI), and alpha3(VI) chains. The alpha2(VI) and alpha3(VI) chains are encoded by the COL6A2 and COL6A3 genes, respectively.
