COL6A1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein collagen type VI alpha 1 chain, which is encoded by the COL6A1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in cell adhesion and endodermal cell differentiation. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 1028 residues, a mass of 108.5 kDa, and is a member of the Type VI collagen protein family. It is known to be localized in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The COL6A1 gene has been associated with the disease, Bethlem myopathy. Other alias names for this target include OPLL, UCHMD1, collagen alpha-1(VI) chain, alpha 1 (VI) chain (61 AA), collagen VI, alpha-1 polypeptide, and BTHLM1.
The detection range for different COL6A1 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 31.25 pg/mL and as high as 500 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
