Anti-Collagen I α2 Antibody

A polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com targeting the alpha 2 chain of Type I collagen (COL1A2), the fibrillar collagen subunit most abundant alongside COL1A1 in bone, skin, tendon, ligament, and dense connective tissue. Supplied as 100 µl of unconjugated rabbit antiserum, this primary antibody is validated for western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence on human specimens, supporting studies in bone biology, dermal scarring, fibrosis research, and connective-tissue disease models such as osteogenesis imperfecta and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Polyclonal specificity enables recognition of multiple epitopes on the COL1A2 polypeptide, which is valuable when probing both intact procollagen and processed alpha 2(I) fragments in tissue sections and decellularized extracellular matrix preparations. Store refrigerated; aliquot to limit freeze-thaw cycles, and protect from extended exposure to light to maintain working stability for routine immunostaining panels.
