Native purified goat collagen type I protein

Source

Goat tissue. Collagen was extracted from washed dissected tissue into dilute acetic acid after pepsin treatment. Collagen type I was purified by using differential salt precipitation

Purity

90% SDS-PAGE

Format

Lyophilized, salt-free

Purification

Partial pepsin digestion in acidic conditions and differential salt precipitation

Applications

Goat collagen type I standard. Antigen for antibody production. Coating material for cell culture studies. Collagen microfibrils will activate platelets causing aggregation. May not be suitable for 3-D gel formation

Reconstitution

Use 0.5 M acetic acid, pH 2.5. Dissolved collagen retains immunologic properties of native collagen. Structure of native collagen confirmed by ability to form microfibrils

Storage

Shipping at ambient temperature. Storage 2 years at -20°C or lower
