Anti-COL1A2 Antibody

COL1A2 encodes the alpha-2 chain of type I collagen, the most abundant fibrillar collagen found in bone, tendon, skin, and other connective tissues. This rabbit polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com is raised against the human COL1A2 protein and is supplied as an unconjugated reagent in a 100 µl volume, ready for use in western blot, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and ELISA workflows. The polyclonal format allows recognition of multiple epitopes on the target, and reactivity has been validated against human, mouse, and rat samples. Researchers commonly apply this reagent to studies of fibrosis, extracellular matrix remodeling, osteogenesis imperfecta, and connective tissue development. Because the antibody is unconjugated, it offers flexibility to conjugate in-house to fluorophores, horseradish peroxidase, or biotin depending on the experimental design. Short-term storage at 4°C is suitable for working aliquots, with freezing of stock and minimization of freeze-thaw cycles recommended to preserve antibody activity over time.
