Additional info: Rabbit anti Rat Collagen I antibody recognizes both native and heat denatured rat collagen type I. Collagen is located in the extracellular matrix of connective tissues. It is part of the interacting network of proteoglycans and proteins that provides a structural framework for both soft and calcified connective tissues. Type I collagen (~95 kDa) is found in bone, cornea, skin and tendon.Mutations in the encoding gene are associated with osteogenesis imperfecta (Sykes et al. 1990), Ehlers Danlos syndrome (Burrows et al. 1996), and idiopathic osteoporosis (Pernow et al. 2006). Storage: Prior to reconstitution store at +4oC.After reconstitution store at -20oC.Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody.
