Collagen I alpha 1 telopeptide Antibody detects collagen I which 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. Type 1 collagen is the most abundant protein in mammals. Collagens are synthesized with N-terminal and C-terminal propeptides that are cleaved during maturation and secretion. After cleavage of the propeptides, the most N-terminal and C-terminal remaining sequences are known as telopeptides. Mutations in the collagen 1, alpha 1 gene (COL1A1) are known to cause osteogenesis imperfecta (aka brittle bone disease). Furthermore, mutations found in the first 90 residues of the helical region of alpha 1 collagen have been implicated in the prevention or delayed removal of the procollagen N-propeptide leading to a combined osteogenesis imperfecta and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) phenotype. Anti-Collagen I alpha 1 telopeptide Antibody is ideal for investigators involved in Cell Signaling, Neuroscience, Signal Transduction research.
Anti-Collagen-1 alpha 1 telopeptide Antibody was produced in rabbit by repeated immunizations with a proprietary peptide immunogen corresponding to collagen-1 alpha 1 telopeptide (C-terminal region).
