Collagen VIII alpha 2 rabbit polyclonal, anti-human, mouse, rat

Backgroud: This gene encodes the alpha 2 chain of type VIII collagen. This protein is a major component of the basement membrane of the corneal endothelium and forms homo- or heterotrimers with alpha 1 (VIII) type collagens. Defects in this gene are associated with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy and posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy type 2. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Synonyms: Collagen alpha-2(VIII) chain (Endothelial collagen)
