Collagen III (COL3A1) Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	ELISA, IHC, IP, WB
Recommend Dilution	WB: 1:1,000 - 1:5,000 IHC: 1:200 - 1:1,000 ELISA: 1:10,000 - 1:50,000
Reactivity	Human
Host	Rabbit
Clonality	Polyclonal
Immunogen	Collagen Type III from human and bovine placenta
Specificity	This product has been prepared by immunoaffinity chromatography using immobilized antigens. 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. This antibody reacts with most mammalian Type III collagens and has expected cross-reactivity with Type I and negligible cross reactivity with Type II, IV, V or VI collagens. Non-specific cross-reaction of anti-collagen antibodies with other human serum proteins or non-collagen extracellular matrix proteins has not been tested.
Formulation	0.01 M Sodium Phosphate, 0.25 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2
Reconstitution Method	Restore with deionized water (or equivalent) - Reconstitution Volume: 50µL
Concentration	1.0 mg/mL - lot specific
Conjugation	FITC
Storage Condition	Store vial at 4° C prior to restoration.   For extended storage aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below.  Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.  Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature.  This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid.  Dilute only prior to immediate use.
Gene Name	collagen type III alpha 1 chain
Database Link	Entrez Gene 1281 Human UniProt ID P02461
Background	In muscle tissue, collagen serves as a major component of the endomysium. Collagen constitutes one to two percent of muscle tissue, and accounts for 6% of the weight of strong, tendinous muscles. A collagen may be defined as a protein containing sizable domain(s) of triple-helical conformation. Type IV collagen is a major macromolecular constituent of basement membranes and can be readily isolated from basement-membrane-rich tissues or highly vascularized tissues such as the placental villi. This collagen appears to be largely restricted to structures identifiable as basement membranes. In contrast, type VI collagen appears to be prevalent in several tissues even though it has been isolated largely from placental villi preparations. The extent to which type VII and VIII collagens are distributed is not known.
