Product Summary for Human Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Human Pro-Collagen I alpha 1/COLIA1 (Pro-Collagen I alpha1) Immunoassay is a 3.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure human Pro-Collagen I alpha1 in cell culture supernates, cell lysates, tissue extracts, serum, plasma, saliva, and urine. It contains recombinant human Pro-Collagen I alpha1 and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural human Pro-Collagen I alpha1 showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human Pro-Collagen I alpha1.

Background: Collagen I alpha 1

Type I collagen is the most abundant structural protein of connective tissues such as skin, bone and tendon. It is synthesized as a procollagen molecule which is characterized by a 300 nm triple helical domain flanked by globular N- and C-terminal propeptides. The triple helical domain contains Gly-Xaa-Yaa triplets where Xaa and Yaa are frequently proline and hydroxyproline, respectively. The non-helical propeptides are removed by procollagen N- and C-proteinase activities so that the mature triple helices can self-assemble into collagen fibrils that provide tensile strength to tissues. Type I collagen is a heterotrimer that consists of two alpha 1(I) chains and one alpha 2(I) chain, although homotrimers consisting of three identical alpha 1(I) chains have also been described. This recombinant mini pro-alpha 1(I) collagen consists of a shortened alpha 1(I) chain with following domain structure from N- to C-terminus: N-propeptide, N-telopeptide, the 33 most N-terminal Gly-Xaa-Yaa repeats, the 33 most C-terminal Gly-Xaa-Yaa repeats, C-telopeptide and C-propeptide. The preparation contains a mixture of the full-length molecule, pN collagen I (alpha 1) and the C-terminal propeptide. This truncated pro-alpha 1(I) collagen is a substrate for procollagen N-proteinase and procollagen C-proteinase.
