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

A Sandwich ELISA Kit from Assay Genie for the detection of Human Collagen alpha-1 (VII) chain (COL7A1) in human serum and plasma samples. The immunoassay uses a colorimetric detection method and is intended for research use, supporting studies of collagen biology, extracellular matrix organisation, and conditions such as dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa in which COL7A1 mutations or autoimmunity are implicated.

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