Specifications
Target Information
Mouse Collagen Alpha-1(XVIII) Chain (Col18a1) is a component of type XVIII collagen, which is found in basement membranes and various tissues. It is involved in cell adhesion, migration, and signaling. Col18a1 contains endostatin, a fragment with anti-angiogenic properties. This makes Col18a1 relevant in contexts such as tumor growth and metastasis, where angiogenesis is a critical process. Additionally, Col18a1 plays a role in tissue repair and regeneration. Its expression is regulated during development and in response to injury. Understanding the functions of Col18a1 could contribute to the development of therapies targeting angiogenesis and tissue repair.
