Purity ≥ 90% as judged by SDS-PAGE analysis and ELISA. Purified by controlled and limited pepsin digestion, followed by selective salt precipitation. Non-reduced band at 400kD. The collagen family is composed of several chain types, including fibril-forming interstitial collagens (types I, II, III and V) and basement membrane collagens (type IV), each type containing multiple isoforms. Collagens are fibrous, extracellular matrix proteins with high tensile strength and are the major components of connective tissue, such as tendons and cartilage. All collagens contain a triple helix domain and frequently show lateral selfassociation in order to form complex connective tissues. Several collagens also play a role in cell adhesion, important for maintaining normal tissue architecture and function, such as bone strength and platelet activation. Applications: Suitable for use as Type IV collagen standard, Antigen for antibody production and Coating material for cell culture studies.
