Related Product Information for anti-COL8A2 antibody
This gene encodes the alpha 2 chain of type VIII collagen. This protein is a major component of the basement membrane of the corneal endothelium and forms homo- or heterotrimers with alpha 1 (VIII) type collagens. Defects in this gene are associated with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy and posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy type 2. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Uniprot Description

COL8A2: 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. Defects in COL8A2 are the cause of corneal dystrophy Fuchs endothelial type 1 (FECD1). It is an ocular disorder caused by loss of endothelium of the central cornea. It is characterized by focal wart-like guttata that arise from Descemet membrane and develop in the central cornea, epithelial blisters, reduced vision and pain. Descemet membrane is thickened by abnormal collagenous deposition. Defects in COL8A2 are the cause of posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy type 2 (PPCD2). PPCD is a rare bilateral familial disorder of the corneal epithelium, and is inherited in a autosomal dominant pattern. The clinical features usually present earlier than FECD, being from birth onwards. The disorder is characterized by alterations of Descemet membrane presenting as vesicles, opacities or band-like lesions on slit- lamp examination and specular microscopy. Affected patient typically are asymptomatic.

Product Notes

The COL8A2 col8a2 (Catalog #AAA9416294) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The COL8A2 Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's COL8A2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC). Immunohistochemistry: 1:25-1:100. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the COL8A2 col8a2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "COL8A2, Polyclonal Antibody" 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.
