ZooMAb® antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies. Each ZooMAb® antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb® antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

표적 설명
Collagen alpha-3(VI) chain (UniProt P12111; also known as Collagen VI alpha-3 polypeptide) is encoded by the COL6A3 gene (Gene ID 1293) in human. Type VI collagen is an extracellular matrix (ECM) component present in virtually all connective tissues, including cartilage, bone, tendon, muscles and cornea, where it forms microfibrils in close association with basement membranes. In addition to anchoring the basement membrane to the pericellular matrix in muscle, research also indicates a role for collagen VI in cell signaling and cell migration. The basic structural unit of collagen VI is a heterotrimer composed of the alpha-1(VI), alpha-2(VI), and alpha-3(VI) chains (encoded by the COL6A1, COL6A2, and COL6A3 genes, respectively). The 1(VI) and 2(VI) chains are similar in size and domain structure, they contain a 335- or 336-amino acid triple helix region that is characteristic of all collagens. Flanking the triple helix are domains homologous to the A-type domains found in von Willebrand factor (VWA domains). 1(VI) and 2(VI) contain one VWA domain N-terminal to the triple helix (N1) and two VWA domains C-terminal of the helix (C1 and C2). The 3(VI) chain, on the other hand, is much larger with 10 N-terminal (N1 N10) and two C-terminal VWA domains (C1 and C2), and several other types of identifiable domains in the C terminal region (C3 C5). Mutations in the COL6A1, COL6A2, and COL6A3 genes are known causes of Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD) and Bethlem myopathy (BM). Three additional type VI collagen chains have been reported in 2008 ( 4(VI), 5(VI) and 6(VI) chains encoded by COL6A4, COL6A5, and COL6A6, respectively).
물리적 형태
Purified recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.
재구성
Reconstitute lyophilized antibody pellet with 25μL of ultrapure water or Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). Please refer to our
reconstitution protocol and the specific application guidance on the suggested starting dilutions and sample type.
저장 및 안정성
Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
