This antibody binds specifically to the C1 epitope on triple helica collagen type 2. It cross-reacts with mouse, rat, chicken, baboon and horse.
Collagen type II, encoded by the COL2A1 gene, is a crucial component of cartilage and plays a vital role in maintaining joint integrity. In mouse models of arthritis, such as collagen-induced arthritis, COL2A1 is studied for its role in cartilage degradation, a key feature of conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Research on COL2A1 helps in understanding arthritis mechanisms and developing new treatments.
Synonyms:
Collagen alpha-1(II) chain, COL2A1, Collagen Type II, Collagen Type 2, CII.
Anti-COL2A1 Antibody (CIIC1) binds to the triple helical C1 epitope on collagen type 2 (CII) but not when the epitope is double-citrullinated (Cit-Cit). CIIC1 can be used in studies of collagen citrullination together with mouse Anti-citrullinated COL2A1 ACC4 Antibody (Catalogue number 1061004). Binding specificity to triple helical C1 peptide epitopes was determined by bead-based flow immunoassay as median fluorescence intensity (MFI).
