Mouse Collagen Type IV Alpha 1 (COL4a1) ELISA Kit

Quantitative measurement of the alpha-1 chain of type IV collagen in mouse specimens is enabled by this ELISA kit from Assay Genie, supplied in a microplate format and intended for research use only. The kit supports laboratory workflows investigating basement membrane biology, glomerular integrity, and extracellular matrix remodeling.

Type IV collagen forms the structural scaffold of basement membranes, and altered expression of the COL4a1 chain has been studied in the context of Alport syndrome models, diabetic nephropathy research, vascular pathology, and pulmonary fibrosis investigations. Researchers can use this kit to examine changes in collagen deposition or turnover in mouse disease models.

Specimens processed with this assay include tissue homogenates and fluid samples of mouse origin. The microplate layout provides capacity for routine experimental runs using standard plate readers. All reagents should be stored according to the product insert and handled using standard immunoassay laboratory technique.
