Principle of the Assay: This ELISA kit uses Sandwich-ELISA as the method. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to COL7. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate micro ELISA plate wells and combined with the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for COL7 and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate is added to each micro plate well successively and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain COL7, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm +/- 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of COL7. You can calculate the concentration of COL7 in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
COL7A1: the alpha chain of type VII collagen, an extra-cellular basement membrane protein restricted to the zone beneath stratified squamous epithelia. Type VII collagen fibrils are composed of three identical alpha collagen chains. Forms anchoring fibrils, which may contribute to epithelial basement membrane organization and adherence by interacting with extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins such as type IV collagen. Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa can result from defects in this protein or an autoimmune response made to type VII collagen. Homotrimer. Interacts with MIA3, facilitating its loading into transport carriers and subsequent secretion. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Inhibitor; Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide; Extracellular matrix
Cellular Component: proteinaceous extracellular matrix; extracellular space; collagen; extracellular region; basement membrane

Product Notes
The Chicken COL7 col7a1 (Catalog #AAA2500918) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA2500918 ELISA Kit recognizes Chicken COL7. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "COL7, 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
