Specificity

Some class-specific anti-collagens may be specific for three-dimensional epitopes which may result in diminished reactivity with denatured collagen or formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissues.  This antibody reacts with most mammalian Type I collagens and has expected cross-reactivity with Type III and negligible cross reactivity with Type II, IV, V or VI collagens.  Non-specific cross-reaction of anti-collagen antibodies with other human serum proteins or non-collagen extracellular matrix proteins has not been tested.

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.

This antibody is well suited to detect extracellular matrix proteins in normal as well as disease state tissues. Disruption of tissue organization is the hallmark of neoplasia. Malignant lesions can be distinguished from benign by examining the breakdown of basement membranes and loss of 3-dimensional architecture. Malignant cells are presumed to use matrix metalloproteases to degrade barriers created by the extracellular matrix which then allows metastasis to occur. Collagenases, stomelysins and gelatinases can collectively degrade all of the various components of the extracellular matrix, including fibrillar and non-fibrillar collagens and basement membrane glycoproteins.

Activity summary

Collagen type I also called collagen I is a structural protein expressed mainly in connective tissues such as skin tendon bone and ligaments. It serves as an important component in providing mechanical strength and integrity to these tissues. Collagen I is a fibrillar collagen known for its triple-helix structure composed of two alpha-1 chains and one alpha-2 chain and has a molecular mass of approximately 300 kDa. Researchers often employ collagen western blot and collagen ELISA techniques for its detection. Collagen suppliers offer various collagen antibodies used in these assays to study its distribution and function.

Biological function summary

Collagen type I plays a central role in maintaining the extracellular matrix and supporting cellular environments. It interacts with other matrix proteins and cells forming complexes that help in tissue development and repair. Type I collagen is especially important in bone matrix working alongside minerals like hydroxyapatite to provide rigidity and support. Anti-collagen antibodies aid in studying its biological functions and interactions which are critical to understanding tissue dynamics.

Pathways

Collagen type I interacts with multiple signaling cascades involved in tissue remodeling and repair. It is a significant player in the TGF-β pathway which regulates fibrosis and wound healing processes. In these pathways proteins such as fibronectin and integrins work in concert with collagen type I to orchestrate cellular responses to damage. Researchers often examine its role in these pathways to uncover therapeutic possibilities for disease interventions.

Associated diseases and disorders

Collagen type I has strong connections to conditions like osteogenesis imperfecta and fibrosis. Mutations or irregularities in collagen I production can lead to osteogenesis imperfecta a genetic disorder characterized by brittle bones. In fibrosis excessive collagen deposition disrupts normal tissue architecture contributing to organ dysfunction. In both conditions type I collagen interacts with other proteins like matrix metalloproteinases which modulate its breakdown and remodeling highlighting its importance in disease pathology.
