mouse monoclonal IgG1; Pro-COL1A2 Antibody (D-6) is an IgG1 λ mouse monoclonal Pro-COL1A2 antibody (also designated Pro-COL1A2 antibody or collagen 1 type COL1A2 antibody) that detects Pro-COL1A2 of mouse, rat and human origin by WB, IP, IF, IHC(P) and ELISA. Pro-COL1A2 Antibody (D-6) is available as the non-conjugated anti-Pro-COL1A2 antibody form, as well as multiple conjugated forms of anti-Pro-COL1A2 antibody, including agarose, HRP, PE, FITC and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. The extensive family of COL gene products (collagens) is composed of several chain types, including fibril-forming interstitial collagens (Types I, II, III and V) and basement membrane collagens (Type IV), each type containing multiple isoforms. Collagens are fibrous, extracellular matrix proteins with high tensile strength and are the major components of connective tissue, such as tendons and cartilage. All collagens contain a triple helix domain and frequently show lateral self-association in order to form complex connective tissues. Several collagens also play a role in cell adhesion, important for maintaining normal tissue architecture and function.
