COL6A5 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein collagen type VI alpha 5 chain, which is encoded by the COL6A5 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in cell adhesion. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 2615 residues, a mass of 289.9 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 and is reported to be expressed in skin, followed by lung, small intestine, colon and testis. 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 collagen, type VI, alpha 5, collagen, type XXIX, alpha 1, von Willebrand factor A domain-containing protein 4, and collagen alpha-5(VI) chain.
There are COL6A5 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.
