Anti-COL6A1 Antibody (C-term)

The collagens are a superfamily of proteins that play a role in maintaining the integrity of various tissues. Collagens are extracellular matrix proteins and have a triple-helical domain as their common structural element. Collagen VI is a major structural component of microfibrils. The basic structural unit of collagen VI is a heterotrimer of the alpha1 (VI), alpha2 (VI), and alpha3 (VI) chains. The protein COL6A1 is the alpha 1 subunit of type VI collagen (alpha1 (VI) chain) . Mutations in the genes that code for the collagen VI subunits result in the autosomal dominant disorder, Bethlem myopathy.

This COL6A1 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 831-858 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human COL6A1.
