Background

Collagen alpha-1 (VII) chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COL7A1 gene. This gene encodes the alpha chain of type VII collagen. The type VII collagen fibril, composed of three identical alpha collagen chains, is restricted to the basement zone beneath stratified squamous epithelia. It functions as an anchoring fibril between the external epithelia and the underlying stroma. Mutations in this gene are associated with all forms of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. In the absence of mutations, however, an acquired form of this disease can result from an autoimmune response made to type VII collagen.

Cross Reactivity

No cross-reactivity with other proteins.

Immunogen

E.coli-derived human Collagen VII/COL7A1 recombinant protein (Position: E2764-D2944) .

Clonality

Polyclonal

Tissue Specificity

While the three isoforms are present in most placental tissues, PlGF-2 is specific to early (8 week) placenta and only PlGF-1 is found in the colon and mammary carcinomas.

Applications

ELISA, Flow Cytometry, IHC, WB

Field of Research

Growth Factors/Hormones, Metabolism, Metabolism Processes, Pathways and Processes, Response To Hypoxia, Signal Transduction

Purification

Immunogen affinity purified.

Concentration

Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml.

Form

Lyophilized

Reconstitution

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

Function

Growth factor active in angiogenesis and endothelial cell growth, stimulating their proliferation and migration. It binds to the receptor FLT1/VEGFR-1. Isoform PlGF-2 binds NRP1/neuropilin-1 and NRP2/neuropilin-2 in a heparin-dependent manner. Also promotes cell tumor growth.
