It is composed of many molecules including proteins, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, and polysaccharides (1,2). One of the major proteins that comprises the ECM, and the human body, is collagen. Collagens are a large family of proteins. They are trimeric molecules comprised of three alpha polypeptide chains that form a triple helix structure that is characteristic of all collagens (3). The large family of collagens is divided into three subgroups: the fibrillar collagens, the non-fibril forming collagens, and the fibril-associated collagens. These sub groups differ in their structure and supramolecular assembly (3). COL5A1 is a minor fibrillar collagen expressed broadly across tissues. It participates in bone and cartilage development, and defects in the gene leads to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a condition that affects the integrity of bones, cartilage, and skin (4,5). Several proteomics, gene profiling, and biochemical studies have indicated that aberrant COL5A1 may play a malignant role in various types of cancer including breast, renal, colon, prostate, lung, and others (6-10).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nalpha 1 type V collagen; CO5A1; COL5A1; Collagen alpha-1(V) chain; collagen type V alpha 1 chain; collagen, type V, alpha 1; EDSC; EDSCL1\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 250\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799965028521,"sku":"86903T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-86903t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
