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.

Collagen Type II, Monoclonal Antibody (Clone M2139), 100ug

M2139 binds to the triple helical J1 epitope on collagen II. Binding to collagen II epitopes was determined in bead-based flow immunoassay as median fluorescence intensity (MFI). Triple helical (Gly-Pro- Hyp)x11 is a synthetic control peptide with 11 repeats of the Gly-Pro-Hyp sequence and mimics the collagen II backbone structure.
