Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets collagen alpha-2(VI) chain (gene col6a2) in zebrafish samples and is validated for IHC.
Collagen α2(VI) chain (COL6A2) combines with the α1 and α3 chains to form type VI collagen microfibrils that link cells to the surrounding matrix. It is important for muscle and connective tissue integrity, and it is studied in collagen VI-related muscular dystrophies.

|---|
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): zebrafish colon tissue, zebrafish skeletal mucsle tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
