Human Procollagen Type I C-Peptide (PIP) Antibody – Mouse Monoclonal

Collagens (types I, II, III, IV, and V) are synthesized as precursor molecules called procollagens. These contain additional peptide sequences, the “propeptides”, at the amino- and carboxy- terminal ends. Propeptides facilitate the winding of procollagen molecules into a triple-helix conformation within the endoplasmic reticulum. These propeptides are cleaved from the collagen triple helix during its secretion after which the collagens polymerize into extracellular collagen fibrils. Therefore, the amount of free propeptides correlates directly with collagen molecule synthesis. Procollagen Type I C-peptide (PIP) has been extensively referenced in studies that correlated collagen levels and disorders such as bone disease, alcoholic liver disease, liver cirrhosis, and scirrhous (Borrmann type IV) adenocarcinoma of the stomach.

Small volumes of anti-Human Procollagen Type I C-Peptide (PIP) antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
