Background

Collagen is an extracellular matrix protein that serves as a scaffold defining the shape and mechanical properties of many tissues and organs including skin, tendon, artery walls, fibrocartilage, bone and teeth. Collagens are highly conserved and are characterized by an uninterrupted "Glycine X Y" triplet repeat that is a necessary part of the triple helical structure. The extensive family of 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. Collagen type I (also known as collagen alpha, COL1A1, and alpha-1 type I collagen) is the largest component of fibrillar collagen found in cartilage and connective tissues. It is synthesized by fibroblasts, osteoblasts, and odontoblasts and has a theoretical molecular weight of 138 kDa.

Type I collagen is a fibril-forming collagen found in most connective tissues and is abundant in bone, cornea, dermis and tendon tissue. Collagens are fibrous, extracellular matrix proteins with high tensile strength and are the major components of connective tissue. Several collagens play a role in cell adhesion, responsible for maintaining normal tissue architecture and function. All collagens contain a triple helix domain and frequently show lateral self-association in order to form complex connective tissues. Post-Golgi LH3 trafficking is essential for collagen homeostasis and for the development and function of multiple organs and tissues (1).

The COL1A1 gene encodes the pro-alpha1 chains of type I collagen protein, whose triple helix is comprised of two alpha1 chains and one alpha2 chain. Mutations in the encoding COL1A1 gene are associated with brittle bone disease (Osteogenesis Imperfecta), cortical hyperostosis (Caffey disease) and disorders that affect the connective tissues (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) (2). Studies have found that HIF-1 transcription regulation of collagen prolyl hydroxylases regulates collagen deposition, promoting cancer cell alignment along collagen fibers, which enhances invasion and metastasis to lymph nodes and lung tissue by breast cancer cells (3).

FAQs for Collagen I alpha 1 ELISA Kit (NBP3-54906). (Showing 1 - 5 of 5 FAQ).

1. We are looking for an anti-Collagen antibody for Flow Cytometry (FACS) analysis in Swine sample. Would you please provide some references if there is any available as well?
   • We currently have one antibody for porcine Collagen validated in flow cytometry (catalog # NBP1-94202).
2. I am looking for anti collagen 1 antibody, I see your product calls it collagen I alpha 1 is there a difference?
   • Collagen I alpha 1 is the most common protein for the collagen 1 protein. There are other subunits as well (such as collagen 1 alpha 2…etc.).
3. The predicted molecular weight says 150kDA but the band on the gel appears at 130kDA why is that?
   • Differences between the predicted and observed MW can be affected by a number of factors including PTMs, relative charges and experimental factors. These cumulative effect of these differences can be quite substantial with larger molecules such as collagen I alpha 1.
4. How long does delivery take for your collagen 1 alpha 1 antibody?
   • Our most popular collagen I alpha 1 antibody (NB600-408) is usually in stock and ships priority overnight for next business day delivery in the U.S.
5. What is the difference between the Quantikine and Duoset ELISA kits?
   • Our Quantikine kits are fully optimized and validated for the sample types listed on the product specific webpage and datasheet, as this can vary between kits. Each kit is supplied ready to use with one pre-coated 96-well plate, a detection antibody directly conjugated to HRP, and all other necessary reagents. These kits are ideal for researchers who want the convenience of a ready to use and optimized ELISA product. Some of these kits are also available prepackaged in larger 6 and 50 plate sizes.Our DuoSet Kits, in contrast, are ELISA development kits containing the capture and detection antibody, the mass-value calibrated standard, and streptavidin-HRP to prepare approximately 5 or 15 plates. Ancillary reagents will need to be used/purchased, and for most kits, we will recommend one of our Ancillary Reagent Kits, which contain the reagents we use ourselves in-house. DuoSet kits are validated only for cell culture supernatant samples and therefore require further development and validation for accurate measurement in more complex samples such as serum and plasma. Our DuoSet Kits offer an economical, flexible alternative for the experienced ELISA user.
