Application
Anti-COL6A2 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Biochem/physiol Actions
COL6A2 (Collagen, type VI, α2) functions as a ligand for membrane-spanning proteoglycan NG2. It directly binds with the central region of NG2 and forms the rod like structure between the N and C-terminal globules. It uses NG2 as a cell surface receptor for maintaining the pericellular matrix structure. It also connects the extracellular matrix with cells. Mutation in COL6A2 causes an autosomal dominant myopathy, Bethlem myopathy.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

NG2 is a membrane-spanning proteoglycan with a primary structure unique among cell surface or extracellular matrix proteins. To characterize the interaction between NG2 and extracellular matrix proteins, we have used a eukaryotic expression system to produce and purify several recombinant
