Buffer | 0.01M TBS (pH7.4) with 1% BSA, 0.02% Proclin300 and 50% Glycerol. |
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION | Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix. Note=Deposed in the extracellular matrix of skeletal muscle. |
SIMILARITY | Belongs to the type VI collagen family. Contains 10 VWFA domains. |
SUBUNIT | Trimers composed of three different chains: alpha-1(VI), alpha-2(VI), and alpha-3(VI) or alpha-5(VI) or alpha-6(VI) |
Post-translational modifications | Prolines at the third position of the tripeptide repeating unit (G-X-Y) are hydroxylated in some or all of the chains |
DISEASE | Note=Patients affected by atopic dermatitis display an abnormal distribution of COL29A1 mRNA and protein in skin suggesting that COL29A1 may be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. |
Important Note | This product as supplied is intended for research use only, not for use in human, therapeutic or diagnostic applications. |
Background Descriptions | The protein encoded by this gene is a collagen that contains N- and C-terminal von Willebrand factor A-like domains. The encoded protein may interact with the alpha 1 and alpha 2 chains of collagen VI to form the complete collagen VI trimer. Sequence polymorphisms in this gene have been linked to atopic dermatitis (eczema). Two transcript variants, one protein-coding and the other probably not protein-coding, have been found for this gene. |

Other Names | Collagen alpha-5(VI) chain, Collagen alpha-1(XXIX) chain, von Willebrand factor A domain-containing protein 4, COL6A5, COL29A1, VWA4 |
Target/Specificity | Expressed in skin, followed by lung, small intestine, colon and testis. In skin, it is expressed in the epidermis with strongest staining in suprabasal viable layers. In ATOD patients, it is absent in the most differentiated upper spinous and granular layers (at protein level). |
Dilution | WB=1:500-2000,IHC-P=1:100-500,IHC-F=1:100-500,ICC=1:100-500,IF=1:100-500,ELISA=1:5000-10000 |
Format | 0.01M TBS(pH7.4), 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide and 50% Glyce |
Storage | Store at -20 ℃ for one year. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. When reconstituted in sterile pH 7.4 0.01M PBS or diluent of antibody the antibody is stable for at least two weeks at 2-4 ℃. |
