Sircol 2.0 Soluble Collagen Assay Kit

Collagen is a major constituent of the extracellular matrix and the predominant protein found in animals, making up approximately 30% of all protein mass. Collagens are characterized by possessing at least one ‘domain’ of triple helix structure. At least 28 different types of collagens have been identified, with Type I collagen being the most prevalent form, particularly in ligaments, tendons, skin, and bone tissue. The biophysical properties of mature, ‘insoluble collagen’ allow it to withstand high tensile forces as well as being resistant to stretching. These are essential properties that enable the locomotion of organisms.
Collagen also exhibits key biochemical properties, being involved in cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. This 'biochemical' form of collagen is typically recently synthesized and, due to minimal crosslinking, can be readily solubilized via cold acid or enzymatic digestion. This is commonly referred to as ‘Soluble Collagen’. Aged collagen undergoes extensive cross-linking and therefore remains ‘insoluble’ under cold acid or enzymatic digestion.
We, BTL Biotechno Labs Pvt. Ltd., the authorized distributor of Biocolor Life Science Assays, take pride in offering their user-friendly quantification of soluble collagens (Sircol 2.0 kit) to the Indian scientific community working on ECM and cell signaling/cell cycle research at competitive prices.
