Mouse Collagen Type I (COL1) ELISA Kit-Sandwich

Type I collagen is the most abundant protein in mammals, serving primarily to provide structural integrity and form a crucial fiber network within the extracellular matrix. This structural support is vital for maintaining the mechanical strength and shape of tissues. In mice, type I collagen not only offers this structural reinforcement but also plays a role in regulating cell behavior and the onset of diseases. By interacting with specific receptors, type I collagen influences cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. For instance, in cartilage growth plates, the interaction between mast cells and type I collagen can impact the mineralization process. Because of its unique structural and functional properties, type I collagen holds significant potential for various applications in the biomedical field.
