Application

Rabbit polyclonal anti-Collagen I, N-Terminal antibody is used to tag collagen type I for detection and quantitation by immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques such as ELISA, immunoblotting, and immunoprecipitation. It is used as a probe to determine the presence and roles of collagen type I as a cell substrate.

Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.Immunofluorescence (1 paper)

Anti-Collagen I antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting and immunostaining.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Collagen I interacts with cytoskeleton and regulates cell motility. Mutations in this gene is linked to osteoporotic fracture, osteogenesis imperfecta and recessive classical type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. It is also associated with idiopathic osteoporosis and atypical Marfan syndrome.

General description

Collagen I is encoded by the gene COL1A2(collagen type I alpha 2). The gene is located on human chromosome 7q21.3. COL1A2 is a fibril forming collagen, found in bone, dermis, tendon, ligaments and cornea.

Rabbit polyclonal anti-Collagen I, N-Terminal antibody reacts with mouse, rat, and human type I collagens.

Collagen is the major structural component of extracellular matrices found in connective tissues and internal organs, but is most prevalent in the dermis, tendons, and bones. It is classified into a number of structurally and genetically distinct types. Type I collagen is a heterodimer composed of two α1(I) chains and one α2(I) chain that spontaneously forms a triple helix scaffold at neutral pH and 37 °C. Collagen type I is an excellent substrate for the culture of hepatocytes, fibroblasts, spinal ganglion, muscle cells, Schwann cells, embryonic lung cells, epithelial cells, and a number of other cell lines. It has also been used in the study of growth, differentiation, migration of cell lines, and tissue morphogenesis during development.
