COL5A2 Antibody (N-term) Blocking Peptide

Background:
COL5A2 is an alpha chain for one of the low abundance fibrillar collagens. Fibrillar collagen molecules are trimers that can be composed of one or more types of alpha chains. Type V collagen is found in tissues containing type I collagen and appears to regulate the assembly of heterotypic fibers composed of both type I and type V collagen. This protein is closely related to type XI collagen and it is possible that the collagen chains of types V and XI constitute a single collagen type with tissue-specific chain combinations.

Other Names:
Collagen alpha-2(V) chain, COL5A2

Target/Specificity:
The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP7358a was selected from the N-term region of human COL5A2. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay.

Gene Name: COL5A2

Gene ID: 1290
Primary Accession: P05997
Format: Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed.
