Bovine Collagen Type I Alpha 2 (COL1a2) ELISA Kit

Quantitative measurement of bovine type I collagen alpha 2 chain is enabled by this species-specific ELISA kit from Assay Genie, developed for research laboratories working with cattle-derived samples.

COL1a2 encodes one of two alpha chains that assemble into the triple helix of type I collagen, the most abundant fibrillar collagen in mammals and a key structural protein in bone, skin, tendon, and connective tissue. Researchers studying fibrosis, wound healing, bone metabolism, cartilage biology, and extracellular matrix remodeling in bovine models rely on quantitative COL1a2 readouts from cattle-derived matrices.

The assay runs on a standard microplate format suitable for laboratory workflows, with reagents validated for bovine reactivity only. It supports in vitro research applications where collagen turnover or biosynthesis must be monitored, including veterinary research, comparative physiology, livestock production studies, and translational work on connective tissue disorders.

Each kit provides materials for completing the assay with internal controls verifying reproducibility across runs, and the workflow accommodates typical laboratory throughput for quantitative immunoassay work in research settings.
