Collagen VI alpha2 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type VI collagen, a beaded filament collagen found in most connective tissues. The product of this gene contains several domains similar to von Willebrand Factor type A domains. These domains have been shown to bind extracellular matrix proteins, an interaction that explains the importance of this collagen in organizing matrix components. Mutations in this gene are associated with Bethlem myopathy and Ullrich scleroatonic muscular dystrophy. Three transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
COL6A2: Collagen VI acts as a cell-binding protein. Defects in COL6A2 are a cause of Bethlem myopathy (BM). BM is a rare autosomal dominant proximal myopathy characterized by early childhood onset (complete penetrance by the age of 5) and joint contractures most frequently affecting the elbows and ankles. Defects in COL6A2 are a cause of Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD); also known as Ullrich scleroatonic muscular dystrophy. UCMD is an autosomal recessive congenital myopathy characterized by muscle weakness and multiple joint contractures, generally noted at birth or early infancy. The clinical course is more severe than in Bethlem myopathy. Defects in COL6A2 are the cause of myosclerosis autosomal recessive (MYOSAR); also known as myosclerotic myopathy or congenital myosclerosis of Lowenthal. A condition characterized by chronic inflammation of skeletal muscle with hyperplasia of the interstitial connective tissue. The clinical picture includes slender muscles with firm 'woody' consistency and restriction of movement of many joints because of muscle contractures. Belongs to the type VI collagen family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Human, Mouse COL6A2 col6a2 (Catalog #AAA9500138) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9500138 ELISA Kit recognizes Human, Mouse COL6A2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Collagen VI alpha2, 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
