    Product Information

    Product Usage Information

    This product is the carrier-free version of product #63034. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol.

    This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN, or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier-free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

    Formulation

    Supplied in 1X PBS, BSA and Azide Free.

    For standard formulation of this product see product #63034.

    Storage

    Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    COL3A1 (E8D7R) XP® Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total COL3A1 protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human COL3A1 protein.

    Background

    The Extracellular Matrix (ECM) is a complex network of macromolecules that provides structural tissue support to cells in the basement membrane and interstitial matrix. It is composed of many molecules including proteins, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, and polysaccharides (1,2). One of the major proteins that comprises the ECM, and the human body, is collagen. Collagens are a large family of proteins. They are trimeric molecules comprised of three alpha polypeptide chains that form a triple helix structure that is characteristic of all collagens (3). The large family of collagens is divided into three subgroups: fibrillar collagens, non-fibril forming collagens, and fibril-associated collagens. These subgroups differ in their structure and supramolecular assembly (3).

    COL3A1 (Collagen 3 alpha 1) is a major fibrillar collagen comprised of three identical alpha-1 chains. It is present in most soft tissues along with COL1A1, and is particularly high in tissues exhibiting elastic properties, such as the cardiac arterial wall and skin (4). Heterozygous mutations in the COL3A1 gene that cause missense mutation of a critical glycine residue in the triple helical domain of the alpha-1 chain result in vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS). This mutation interferes with the ability of the alpha-1 chain to form collagen fibrils and thus disrupts macromolecular assembly of collagen fibers. vEDS is a severe and life-threatening disease as patients have a propensity for rupture of large arteries (4).

    Increased amounts of type III COL3A1 are found in many fibrotic conditions, such as lung, liver, kidney fibrosis, and systemic sclerosis (5,6).
