COLLAGEN V HU PUR-100UG

General description

Collagen type V is fibril-forming collagen that is located in the lung, bone, and fetal membranes along with type I collagen. It is minor collagen present in the extracellular matrix.

Application

Human Collagen Type V has been used to study the interaction of high endothelial venule protein (hevin) with human collagen V by fluorescence polarization (FP) assay and surface plasmon resonance(SPR). It has also been used to incubate the 96 well plate to determine the protein levels in media and cell lysates of fibroblasts.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Collagen type V acts as a regulator of collagen fibrillogenesis in the cornea and skin dermis. It interacts with matrix collagens and structural proteins thereby contributing to the structural integrity of tissues. Lower levels of type V collagen lead to loss of corneal transparency and Ehler Danlos syndrome.

Physical form

Liquid, in 0.1M acetic acid, pH 3.0. No preservatives added.

Preparation Note

Purified by serial salt precipitations of a pepsin extraction of human fetal membranes and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose.

Storage and Stability

Maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 12 months. Do not thaw and refreeze.

Other Notes

Molecular composition: α1(V)]2 α2(V), native triple helix. Purity and retention of the native helical structure were monitored by SDS-PAGE, ORD measurement, and by reaction with anti-collagen type-specific monoclonal antibodies. Product Source: Human placenta, negative for HBsAg and HIV antibodies.
