COL6A2 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein collagen type VI alpha 2 chain, which is encoded by the COL6A2 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in cell adhesion and carbohydrate metabolism and homeostasis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 1019 residues, a mass of 108.6 kDa, and is a member of the Type VI collagen protein family. It is known to be localized in the extracellular matrix, membrane, and is secreted. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The COL6A2 gene has been associated with the disease, Bethlem myopathy. Other alias names for this target include PP3610, UCMD1, collagen alpha-2(VI) chain, collagen VI, alpha-2 polypeptide, and BTHLM1.
There are COL6A2 ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 50 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
