Description

General description

Collagen Type I extracted and purified from mouse skin. Antibody shows less than 0.1% reactivity with mouse Collagen Types II, IV and with human, rat and chicken Collagens Type I in addition to a 1.0% reactivity with mouse Collagen Type III.

Collagen alpha-1(I) chain (UniProt: P11087; also known as Alpha-1 type I collagen) is encoded by the Col1a1 (also known as Cola1) gene (Gene ID: 12842) in murine species. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and make up t 25% of the total protein content. It is predominantly synthesized by fibroblasts. However, epithelial cells may also synthesize small amounts of collagen. The collagen super family includes over 20 different types of collagens with at least 38 distinct polypeptide chains. Collagen type I is a fibrillar type of collagen that is found in skin, tendons, ligaments, and bone and plays a major role in wound healing. Collagen type I is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-22) and a propeptide (aa 23-151) that are subsequently cleaved off to produce the mature form (aa 152-1207). It is expressed in almost all connective tissues and the predominant component of the interstitial membrane. It assembles into fibers that form the structural and mechanical scaffold of bone, skin, tendons, cornea, blood vessel walls and other connective tissues. Heterotrimers of two α1(I) and one α2(I) chains are shown to be the dominant isoform of type I collagen. However, homotrimers of three α1(I) chains have also been reported in fetal tissues, tumors, and in some fibrotic lesions. The homotrimeric isoform is shown to be more resistant to cleavage by collagenases. Type I collagen undergoes several post-translational modifications, some of these are formed during its synthesis to ensure mechanical competence of the fibrils and others formed as a function of aging and disease, such as cleavage and glycation that often results in reduced competence of the fibrils.
