COL1A2 Antibody (G-4): sc-166865

COL1A2 Antibody (G-4) is a mouse monoclonal IgM kappa light chain antibody engineered to detect Collagen α2 Type I (COL1A2), also known as Collagen type I alpha 2 chain or simply type I collagen alpha2. Anti-COL1A2 antibody (G-4) targets a precise epitope mapping between amino acids 1070-1087 at the C-terminus of COL1A2, ensuring exceptional specificity and reliability in applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Collagen α2 Type I is a vital component of the extracellular matrix, predominantly located in connective tissues like tendons, skin, and bone, where COL1A2 provides structural support and tensile strength essential for tissue integrity. The extracellular localization of COL1A2 is crucial for maintaining the architecture and function of connective tissues, facilitating cell adhesion, and supporting normal physiological processes. Additionally, COL1A2 plays a significant role in the formation and maintenance of complex connective tissues, making COL1A2 a key protein in studies related to connective tissue disorders and fibrosis. COL1A2 monoclonal antibody (G-4) is available in a non-conjugated form, offering flexibility for various experimental designs and enabling researchers to conjugate with different labels as needed. The robust reactivity with human COL1A2 ensures compatibility with human tissue samples, making anti-COL1A2 antibody (G-4) an indispensable tool for both basic research and diagnostic applications.
