Human Collagen alpha-1 (VII)chain (COL7A1) ELISA Kit

Assay Genie offers a Sandwich ELISA designed for the accurate detection of human Collagen alpha-1 (VII) chain (COL7A1) levels in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. The assay uses a colorimetric detection method and shows reactivity with human samples.

Performance characteristics include a detection range of 0.156–10 ng/mL and a sensitivity of 0.045 ng/mL. Intra-CV is reported as 6.3% and inter-CV as 10.8%. The kit is specific for natural and recombinant human Collagen alpha-1(VII) chain, with synonyms listed as Long-chain collagen and LC collagen. It is intended for research use only and is classified under the Signal Transduction research area.

Biologically, COL7A1 is a stratified squamous epithelial basement membrane protein that forms anchoring fibrils, which may contribute to epithelial basement membrane organization and adherence by interacting with extracellular matrix proteins such as type IV collagen.
