Western blot - Anti-Collagen IV antibody [EPR20966] - BSA and Azide free (AB226485)
False colour image of Western blot : Anti-Collagen IV antibody [EPR20966] staining at 1/500 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] (ab7291) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab214417 was shown to bind specifically to Collagen IV. A band was observed at 200 kDa in wild-type HeLa cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in Col4a1 knockout cell line ab255379 (knockout cell lysate ab263755). To generate this image, wild-type and Col4a1 knockout HeLa cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

Biological function summary
The highly organized network of collagen type IV plays a supreme role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of the basement membrane. It exists predominantly as part of a supramolecular complex associating with laminin nidogen and perlecan forming a multifunctional platform. This platform facilitates cellular signaling tissue elasticity and filtration functions. The basement membrane's selective permeability heavily relies on this network structure to regulate the exchange of molecules between tissues like blood vessels and epithelial sheets.
Pathways
Collagen IV contributes to several critical functions within the extracellular matrix organization and cell-matrix adhesion pathways. Specifically it interacts intimately with integrins and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) playing roles in angiogenesis and tissue repair. Additionally its interactions with other collagens and integrins within these pathways enhance cellular responses to mechanical stress and contribute to structural resilience in tissues.
