COL5A1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein collagen type V alpha 1 chain, which is encoded by the COL5A1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in blood vessel development and cell adhesion. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 1838 residues, a mass of 183.6 kDa, and is a member of the Fibrillar collagen protein family. It is known to be localized in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally sulfated. The COL5A1 gene has been associated with the disease, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Other alias names for this target include EDSCL1, FMDMF, collagen alpha-1(V) chain, collagen, type V, alpha 1, and EDSC.
Some COL5A1 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.156 ng/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.
