General notes
At least 11 genetically distinct gene products are collectively referred to as 'collagen types' or other proteins and proteoglycans of the extracellular matrix. In humans, collagens are composed of about 20 unique protein chains which under go various types of post-translational modifications and are ultimately assembled into a triple helix. This results in great diversity between collagen types. Collagens are highly conserved throughout evolution and are characterized by an uninterrupted "Glycine-X-Y" triplet repeat that is a necessary part of the triple helical structure. For these reasons it is often extremely difficult to generate antibodies with specificities to collagens. The development of type specific antibodies is dependent on NON-DENATURED three-dimensional epitopes. This preparation results in a native conformation of the protein.

Applications
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab6588 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
| Application | Abreviews | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ICC/IF | 1/250 - 1/500. | |
| ELISA | 1/4000 - 1/8000. | |
| IHC-Fr | 1/50 - 1/200. | |
| IP | Use at an assay dependent concentration. | |
| WB | 1/5000 - 1/10000. Detects a band of approximately 100 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 108 kDa). This product is not recommended for use under denaturing conditions in WB, IP, and ELISA. We would suggest testing it under native conditions. | |

FunctionCollagen VI acts as a cell-binding protein.

Involvement in diseaseDefects in COL6A1 are a cause of Bethlem myopathy (BM) [MIM:158810]. BM is a rare autosomal dominant proximal myopathy characterized by early childhood onset (complete penetrance by the age of 5) and joint contractures most frequently affecting the elbows and ankles.
Defects in COL6A1 are a cause of Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD) [MIM:254090]; also known as Ullrich scleroatonic muscular dystrophy. UCMD is an autosomal recessive congenital myopathy characterized by muscle weakness and multiple joint contractures, generally noted at birth or early infancy. The clinical course is more severe than in Bethlem myopathy. -
Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the type VI collagen family.
Contains 3 VWFA domains. -
Post-translational
modificationsProlines at the third position of the tripeptide repeating unit (G-X-Y) are hydroxylated in some or all of the chains. -
Cellular localizationSecreted > extracellular space > extracellular matrix.

Cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.5% TX-100 and blocked with 5% serum for 20 minutes at 25°C. Samples were incubated with primary antibody 1/500 (1% goat serum, 0.1% TX100, 1XPBS) for 16 hours at 4°C. An Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated Goat polyclonal to rabbit IgG (ab150077), dilution 1/500, was used as secondary antibody. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue).
