Rabbit anti-Human, Mouse Collagen IX alpha2 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-COL9A2 antibody
Collagen IX alpha2 Antibody
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type IX collagen, the major collagen component of hyaline cartilage. Type IX collagen, a heterotrimeric molecule, is usually found in tissues containing type II collagen, a fibrillar collagen. This chain is unusual in that, unlike the other two type IX alpha chains, it contains a covalently attached glycosaminoglycan side chain. Mutations in this gene are associated with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
COL9A2: Structural component of hyaline cartilage and vitreous of the eye. Defects in COL9A2 are the cause of multiple epiphyseal dysplasia type 2 (EDM2). EDM is a generalized skeletal dysplasia associated with significant morbidity. Joint pain, joint deformity, waddling gait, and short stature are the main clinical signs and symptoms. EDM is broadly categorized into the more severe Fairbank and the milder Ribbing types. EDM2 inheritance is autosomal dominant. Defects in COL9A2 may be a cause of susceptibility to intervertebral disc disease (IDD); also known as lumbar disk herniation (LDH). IDD is one of the most common musculo-skeletal disorders and the predominant cause of low-back pain and unilateral leg pain. Defects in COL9A2 are the cause of Stickler syndrome type 5 (STL5). An autosomal recessive form of Stickler syndrome, an inherited disorder that associates ocular signs with more or less complete forms of Pierre Robin sequence, bone disorders and sensorineural deafness. STL5 is characterized by high myopia, vitreoretinal degeneration, retinal detachment, mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss, short stature in childhood, and absence of cleft palate and Pierre Robin sequence. Belongs to the fibril-associated collagens with interrupted helices (FACIT) family.

Product Notes
The COL9A2 col9a2 (Catalog #AAA9418972) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Collagen IX alpha2 Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Collagen IX alpha2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Western Blot: 1:1000-3000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the COL9A2 col9a2 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 "Collagen IX alpha2, 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.Precautions
