Human Collagen Type XI Alpha 1 (COL11a1) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie COL11a1 ELISA Kit enables quantitative measurement of Collagen Type XI Alpha 1 in human research samples. COL11a1 is a fibril-associated collagen expressed predominantly in cartilage, where it regulates the nucleation and diameter of type II collagen fibrils during skeletal development and tissue maintenance. Researchers studying osteoarthritis, chondrogenesis, heritable connective tissue disorders such as Stickler syndrome type II, and extracellular matrix biology rely on consistent quantification of this minor fibrillar collagen. The microplate format includes all reagents needed for the complete assay workflow. Store refrigerated upon arrival and equilibrate kit components to room temperature before use. Intended for research use only, this kit supports laboratory investigations into cartilage biochemistry and connective tissue pathology.
