Human Collagen Type VIII Alpha 1 (COL8a1) ELISA Kit

Collagen Type VIII Alpha 1 (COL8a1) is a short-chain collagen expressed in the basement membrane zone of vascular endothelium, corneal endothelium, and various connective tissues. Quantifying this extracellular matrix protein supports studies in vascular biology, fibrosis research, ophthalmology, and tissue remodeling.

Assay Genie offers this in vitro ELISA kit for the quantitative measurement of human COL8a1. Each kit is supplied as a complete assay pack with coated microwells, detection reagents, standards, and substrate. Unopened kits should be stored refrigerated and protected from light; reconstituted components are stable when aliquoted and handled according to the package insert.

The assay is intended for research use only and supports applications including biomarker discovery in cardiovascular and ocular disease models, investigation of extracellular matrix remodeling, and characterization of cell culture supernatants. The kit provides a quantitative read-out suitable for measuring COL8a1 levels across a standard curve generated with the included reference standards.
