Description
Anti-COL4A5 Antibody (CAB9809)
The COL4A5 Polyclonal Antibody (CAB9809) is a valuable tool for researchers studying type IV collagen, a major component of basement membranes in various tissues. This antibody, raised in rabbits, specifically targets the COL4A5 protein and is highly reactive with human samples. Validated for use in Western blot applications, it enables precise detection and analysis of COL4A5 in different cell types.Type IV collagen is essential for the structural integrity of basement membranes and plays a crucial role in cell adhesion, migration, and differentiation. Dysregulation of COL4A5 expression has been associated with various diseases, including Alport syndrome, a genetic disorder affecting the kidneys and eyes.
The ability to accurately assess COL4A5 levels in biological samples is vital for understanding its role in disease pathology and developing targeted therapies.By using the COL4A5 Polyclonal Antibody (CAB9809), researchers can advance their understanding of type IV collagen biology and its implications in health and disease. This antibody is a valuable tool for investigations in nephrology, ophthalmology, and other fields related to extracellular matrix biology.

Background: | This gene encodes one of the six subunits of type IV collagen, the major structural component of basement membranes. Mutations in this gene are associated with X-linked Alport syndrome, also known as hereditary nephritis. Like the other members of the type IV collagen gene family, this gene is organized in a head-to-head conformation with another type IV collagen gene so that each gene pair shares a common promoter. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene. |
UniProt Protein Function: | COL4A5: Type IV collagen is the major structural component of glomerular basement membranes (GBM), forming a 'chicken-wire' meshwork together with laminins, proteoglycans and entactin/nidogen. Defects in COL4A5 are the cause of Alport syndrome X- linked (APSX). APSX is characterized by progressive glomerulonephritis, renal failure, sensorineural deafness, specific eye abnormalities (lenticonous and macular flecks), and glomerular basement membrane defects. The disorder shows considerable heterogeneity in that families differ in the age of end-stage renal disease and the occurrence of deafness. Deletions covering the N-terminal regions of COL4A5 and COL4A6, which are localized in a head-to-head manner, are found in the chromosome Xq22.3 centromeric deletion syndrome. This results in a phenotype with features of diffuse leiomyomatosis and Alport syndrome (DL-ATS). Belongs to the type IV collagen family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. |
