Background: Collagen III alpha 1/COL3A1
Collagen III is a fibrillar collagen that constitutes 5-20% of all collagen in the body (1). It provides structural integrity and is found in many hallow organs and soft connective tissue including the vascular system, skin, lung, uterus, and intestine (1,2). Additionally, collagen III has be found to be associated with type I collagen in the same fibrils (1). Collagen III interacts with signaling integrins to carry out other key functions including cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation (1).
Mutations in the COL3A1 gene has been associated with a variety of human diseases, the most well-known being a group of connective tissue disorders termed Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (1,2,4). Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is a specific subtype that is considered the most severe and although the clinical manifestations vary, symptoms include thin skin and fragile blood vessels and can often result in both lung and heart complications (1,4). COL3A1 is also associated with glomerulopathies, or diseases of the glomeruli, which are characterized by an abundance of extracellular matrix (3). Collagenofibrotic glomerulopathy is one specific rare renal disease that is characterized by excessive levels of collagen III (3).

FAQs for Collagen III alpha 1/COL3A1 Antibody - BSA Free
-
Q: I am wondering if you could please confirm for me whether this product Collagen III antibody - catalogue # NB600-594 is able to be used under denaturing conditions with Western blots? Or whether it only binds to the collagen in its natural (non-denatured)
A: The Western blot image is not generated from native collagen - reducing conditions were used to obtain the image. The intact native molecule is too large to be run on standard 4-20% gels so the sample was run under reducing conditions. The image shows the sub-unit strand(s), not the intact collagen that consists of 3 subunit strands. These are not considered optimal or specific binding conditions for the anti-collagen antibodies, however the decision was made to run and post this on the website as an example.
-
Q: May I know if you carry the un-conjugated version of NB120-6580 (biotinylated anti-Collagen Type iII)?
A: I would recommend this catalog number for an unconjugated anti-Collagen Type III antibody: NB600-594.
-
Q: What is the dilution factor for IHC for starting? Because the range of dilution factor on the datasheet is so broad, I am confused which dilution factor is suitable for starting.
A: I can recommend the following dilution to start. Keep in mind that these will all vary greatly by sample type, so these are just suggestions. You may need to use more or less antibody. For catalog number NB600-594, the dilution range is 1:50-1:200.
