Biological background
COL6A1 (protein: Lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 2 (Lamp2)) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Collagen VI acts as a cell-binding protein. Reported cellular localization context: Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix . Tissue expression notes (as provided): Expressed at high levels in adult kidney, skeletal and placenta tissues and at very low levels in adult heart, lung and brain tissues. .
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Collagen,Cytoskeleton/ECM,ECM Proteins,Extracellular Matrix,Signal Transduction.
- Current studies often focus on connecting target abundance/localization to pathway perturbations across models, tissues, and cell states.
- Quantitative and multiplexed assays (e.g., imaging + immunoblot panels) are commonly used to compare phenotypes across conditions and time-courses.
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): assess relative target abundance across samples, treatments, or time-points.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): evaluate spatial distribution of target-positive staining in tissue architecture.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC (IF/ICC): visualize subcellular localization patterns and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate COL6A1 antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect COL6A1 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect COL6A1 in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry, Localize COL6A1 by immunofluorescence/immunocytochemistry in cultured cells
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms and post-translational modifications (PTMs) that may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Apparent molecular weight may vary by sample type and processing (observed MW: 147 kDa; calculated MW: 108529 MW).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
Additional product details (from the source record)
- Molecular weight (observed): 147 kDa
