Recombinant Human Pro-Collagen Type I α1 / COL1A1

General Discussion

  • Collagen type I is the most abundant form of collagen in human tissues and is composed of two identical α-1 type I chains and an α-2 type I chain organized in a triple helical structure. Specifically, collagen type I alpha 1 chain (COL1A1), an extracellular matrix protein mapped to 17q21.33, is an important member of the collagen family.

    Our recombinant human pro-collagen type I α1 / COL1A1 is available as full-chain or single chain molecules. Its synthesis and assembly require a multitude of genes and post-translational modifications which gives a more native human structure. It is highly soluble in physiological buffers; thus, no aggressive solvents are required for its processing in medical devices.
