DESCRIPTION: Human type V collagen purified from pepsin-solubilized amnion by repeat salt precipitation.
Amnion type V collagen consists of two α1 chains and one α2 chain, [α1(V)]2 and α2(V).
APPLICATION: Use as an immunizing antigen to generate antibodies, an antigen to detect anti-type V collagen
antibodies in ELISA, or as a standard for gel analysis.
QUANTITY: 1 mg
FORM: Lyophilized powder
SOURCE: Human
MOLECULAR WEIGHT: Intact amnion type V collagen: approximately 540 kDa. By 6% gel analysis, amnion type V
collagen separates into two chains: α1(V) and α2(V) (1840 and 1258 amino acid residues) from
the top of the gel.
PURITY: >90% by SDS-PAGE gel analysis
STORAGE: 4°C in the dark for lyophilized form and -20°C for solution form. Collagen may gradually degrade
under neutral conditions
STABILITY: 2 years for lyophilized form
NOTES: Type V collagen can be dissolved at 4 mg/ml in acidic solutions such as 0.01-0.05M acetic acid,
pH 3.0-3.3 or 0.15M citrate buffer, pH 3.6 by stirring at 4°C overnight. To neutralize the solution,
add 10x neutral buffer containing 1.5M NaCl or dialyze the solution against a neutral buffer.
