Porcine Collagen Type VIII Alpha 1 ELISA Kit
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes one of the two alpha chains of type VIII collagen. The gene product is a short chain collagen and a major component of the basement membrane of the corneal endothelium. The type VIII collagen fibril can be either a homo- or a heterotrimer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
Uniprot Description
COL8A1: Macromolecular component of the subendothelium. Major component of the Descemet's membrane (basement membrane) of corneal endothelial cells. Also component of the endothelia of blood vessels. Necessary for migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and thus, has a potential role in the maintenance of vessel wall integrity and structure, in particular in atherogenesis.

Product Notes
The Porcine COL8A1 col8a1 (Catalog #AAA012569) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA012569 ELISA Kit recognizes Porcine COL8A1. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Collagen Type VIII Alpha 1, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
