COL16A1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein collagen type XVI alpha 1 chain, which is encoded by the COL16A1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in mediating cell attachment and inducing integrin-mediated cellular reactions, such as cell spreading and alterations in cell morphology. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 1604 residues, a mass of 157.8 kDa, and is a member of the Fibril-associated collagens with interrupted helices (FACIT) 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 glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include FP1572, collagen alpha-1(XVI) chain, alpha 1 type XVI collagen, collagen XVI, alpha-1 polypeptide, collagen, type XVI, alpha 1, and 447AA.
There are COL16A1 ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
