Anti-COL5A1 Antibody

Produced in rabbit as a polyclonal reagent, this unconjugated primary antibody recognizes the alpha-1 chain of type V collagen, a fibril-forming protein that assembles into heterotypic networks with type I collagen in skin, tendon, and other connective tissues. Mutations in COL5A1 are linked to classical Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, making reliable detection of this target important for connective tissue research and fibrosis studies. The antibody is supplied at 1 mg/ml in phosphate buffered saline with 0.05% sodium azide at approximately pH 7.2, in a 100 µl vial suitable for western blot and immunohistochemistry workflows on human and mouse samples. The polyclonal format enables recognition of multiple epitopes on the target, supporting robust signal in cell lysates and formalin-fixed tissue sections. Store refrigerated in the provided buffer; aliquot to limit freeze-thaw cycles and preserve activity. Antibodies.com provides the reagent unconjugated, allowing flexible pairing with secondary labels of the researcher's choice.
