Product details:
Mouse Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 ELISA Kit ab210579 is a rapid single-wash 90-min ELISA kit to measure Mouse Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 in cell culture extracts, tissue extracts, serum and plasma. This SimpleStep ELISA® sensitivity is 6.7 pg/mL.
How the assay works
Mouse Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 SimpleStep ELISA® employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details.
Assay Specificity
This kit recognizes both native and recombinant mouse Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 protein in serum, plasma, and cell and tissue extract samples only. This kit is not validated for cell culture supernatants.

Type I collagen is the most abundant structural protein of connective tissues such as skin, bone and tendon. It is synthesized as a pro-collagen molecule that is characterized by a 300 nm triple helical domain flanked by globular N- and C-terminal propeptides. Specifically, mouse Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 consists of a signal peptide (amino acids (aa) 1-22), a propeptide (aa 23-151), the mature chain (aa 152-1207), and another propeptide (aa 1208 – 1453). The non-helical propeptides are removed by procollagen N- and C-proteinase activities so that the mature triple helices can self-assemble into collagen fibrils that provide tensile strength to tissues.

Collagen type I also called collagen I is a structural protein expressed mainly in connective tissues such as skin tendon bone and ligaments. It serves as an important component in providing mechanical strength and integrity to these tissues. Collagen I is a fibrillar collagen known for its triple-helix structure composed of two alpha-1 chains and one alpha-2 chain and has a molecular mass of approximately 300 kDa. Researchers often employ collagen western blot and collagen ELISA techniques for its detection. Collagen suppliers offer various collagen antibodies used in these assays to study its distribution and function.
Biological function summary
Collagen type I plays a central role in maintaining the extracellular matrix and supporting cellular environments. It interacts with other matrix proteins and cells forming complexes that help in tissue development and repair. Type I collagen is especially important in bone matrix working alongside minerals like hydroxyapatite to provide rigidity and support. Anti-collagen antibodies aid in studying its biological functions and interactions which are critical to understanding tissue dynamics.
Pathways
Collagen type I interacts with multiple signaling cascades involved in tissue remodeling and repair. It is a significant player in the TGF-β pathway which regulates fibrosis and wound healing processes. In these pathways proteins such as fibronectin and integrins work in concert with collagen type I to orchestrate cellular responses to damage. Researchers often examine its role in these pathways to uncover therapeutic possibilities for disease interventions.
Collagen type I has strong connections to conditions like osteogenesis imperfecta and fibrosis. Mutations or irregularities in collagen I production can lead to osteogenesis imperfecta a genetic disorder characterized by brittle bones. In fibrosis excessive collagen deposition disrupts normal tissue architecture contributing to organ dysfunction. In both conditions type I collagen interacts with other proteins like matrix metalloproteinases which modulate its breakdown and remodeling highlighting its importance in disease pathology.
