COL6A3 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein collagen type VI alpha 3 chain, which is encoded by the COL6A3 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in cell adhesion and muscle organ development. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 3177 residues, a mass of 343.7 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. As many as 5 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The COL6A3 gene has been associated with the disease, Bethlem myopathy. Other alias names for this target include DYT27, UCMD1, collagen alpha-3(VI) chain, collagen VI, alpha-3 polypeptide, collagen, type VI, alpha 3, and BTHLM1.
Some COL6A3 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 1.25 pg/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
