Collagens comprise a large family of insoluble extracellular glycoproteins that are essential components of connective tissues such as tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bone and skin. The mature polypeptides are secreted as coiled, left-handed helices that subsequently assemble into rope-like collagen fibers. Collagen I is a fibril-forming collagen that requires N- and C- terminal processing. Collagen IV is a network forming collagen whose C-terminus forms dimers and N-terminus forms tetramers.

Product Specifications
Immunogen
Collagen IV from human and bovine placenta (Uniprot: P02462)
Reactivity Notes
This antibody reacts with most mammalian Collagen IV and has negligible cross-reactivity with Type I, II, III, V or VI collagens. Non-specific cross-reaction of anti-collagen antibodies with other human serum proteins or non-collagen extracellular matrix proteins is negligible.
Rat reactivity reported in scientific literature (PMID: 16774905)
Feline reactivity reported in scientific literature (PMID: 33091431).
Rat reactivity reported in scientific literature (PMID: 16774905)
Feline reactivity reported in scientific literature (PMID: 33091431).
Localization
Secreted and Cell surface (Potential).
Specificity
Some class-specific anti-collagens may be specific for three-dimensional epitopes which may result in diminished reactivity with denatured collagen or formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissues. This antibody reacts with most mammalian Collagen IV and has negligible cross-reactivity with Type I, II, III, V or VI collagens. Non-specific cross-reaction of anti-collagen antibodies with other human serum proteins or non-collagen extracellular matrix proteins is negligible.
