Anti-Collagen III/COL3A1 Antibody Picoband®

• Background:

  COL3A1, also called EDS4A or Collagen alpha-1 (III), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COL3A1 gene. It is mapped to 2q32.2. COL3A1 chain is a fibrillar-forming collagen comprising 3 alpha-1 (III) chains and is expressed in early embryos and throughout embryogenesis. In adult, COL3A1 is a major component of the extracellular matrix in a variety of internal organs and skin. COL3A1 is also a fibrous scleroprotein in bone, cartilage, dentin, tendon, bone marrow stroma and other connective tissue. It is involved in regulation of cortical development, and it is the major ligand of GPR56 in the developing brain. COL3A1 binding to GPR56 can inhibit neuronal migration and activate the RhoA pathway by coupling GPR56 to GNA13 and possibly GNA12.

• Function:

  Collagen type III occurs in most soft connective tissues along with type I collagen. Involved in regulation of cortical development. Is the major ligand of ADGRG1 in the developing brain and binding to ADGRG1 inhibits neuronal migration and activates the RhoA pathway by coupling ADGRG1 to GNA13 and possibly GNA12.
