Small volumes of anti-COL6A2 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

COL6A2 is one of the three alpha chains of type VI collagen, a beaded filament collagen found in most connective tissues. The product of this gene contains several domains similar to von Willebrand Factor type A domains. These domains have been shown to bind extracellular matrix proteins, an interaction that explains the importance of this collagen in organizing matrix components. Mutations in this gene are associated with Bethlem myopathy and Ullrich scleroatonic muscular dystrophy. Three transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq].

Function: Collagen VI acts as a cell-binding protein.

Subunit structure: Trimers composed of three different chains: alpha-1(VI), alpha-2(VI), and alpha-3(VI) or alpha-5(VI) or alpha-6(VI). Interacts with CSPG4. Ref.14

Subcellular location: Secreted ? extracellular space ? extracellular matrix. Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Note: Recruited on membranes by CSPG4. Ref.13

Post-translational modification: Prolines at the third position of the tripeptide repeating unit (G-X-Y) are hydroxylated in some or all of the chains.

Involvement in disease: Bethlem myopathy (BM) [MIM:158810]: A benign autosomal dominant proximal myopathy characterized by early childhood onset and joint contractures most frequently affecting the elbows and ankles.Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.17 Ref.18 Ref.20 Ref.21Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD) [MIM:254090]: UCMD is a congenital myopathy characterized by muscle weakness and multiple joint contractures, generally noted at birth or early infancy. The clinical course is more severe than in Bethlem myopathy.Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.19 Ref.20Myosclerosis autosomal recessive (MYOSAR) [MIM:255600]: A condition characterized by chronic inflammation of skeletal muscle with hyperplasia of the interstitial connective tissue. The clinical picture includes slender muscles with firm 'woody' consistency and restriction of movement of many joints because of muscle contractures.Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the type VI collagen family.Contains 3 VWFA domains.
