Specifications
Target Information
Swine Collagen Type II Alpha 1 Chain (COL2A1) is a major component of type II collagen, composed of three identical alpha-1 chains, primarily found in cartilage and the vitreous humor. In swine, COL2A1 is crucial for normal skeletal development, linear growth, and cartilage resilience. It provides structural support in tissues like articular cartilage and the nucleus pulposus, maintaining tissue integrity. Mutations in COL2A1 can lead to severe skeletal dysplasia, including shortened limbs, abnormal vertebrae, and tracheal collapse.
