COL4A3 Antibodies
AND COL4A3 ELISA kits, COL4A3 Proteins
Many biological assays use antibodies to detect COL4A3, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with COL4A3 in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop COL4A3 antibodies...

COL4A3 Overview
Facts about Collagen alpha-3(IV) chain.
Collagen alpha-3(IV) chain (COL4A3)
Type IV collagen is the major structural component of glomerular basement membranes (GBM), forming a 'chicken-wire' meshwork together with laminins, proteoglycans and entactin/nidogen. .

Tissue Specificity
Alpha 3 and alpha 4 type IV collagens are colocalized and present in kidney, eye, basement membranes of lens capsule, cochlea, lung, skeletal muscle, aorta, synaptic fibers, fetal kidney and fetal lung. PubMed:8083201 reports similar levels of expression of alpha 3 and alpha 4 type IV collagens in kidney, but PubMed:7523402 reports that in kidney levels of alpha 3 type IV collagen are significantly lower than those of alpha 4 type IV collagen. According to PubMed:8083201, alpha 3 type IV collagen is not detected in heart, brain, placenta, liver, pancreas, extrasynaptic muscle fibers, endoneurial and perineurial nerves, fetal brain, fetal heart and fetal liver. According to PubMed:7523402, alpha 3 type IV collagen is strongly expressed in pancreas, neuroretina and calvaria and not expressed in adrenal, ileum and skin. Isoform 1 and isoform 3 are strongly expressed in kidney, lung, suprarenal capsule, muscle and spleen, in each of these tissues isoform 1 is more abundant than isoform 3. Isoform 1 and isoform 3 are expressed at low levels in artery, fat, pericardium and peripherical nerve, but not in placenta, mesangium, skin, pleura and cultured umbilical endothelial cells.
Subcellular Localizations
Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix, basement membrane. Colocalizes with COL4A4 and COL4A5 in GBM, tubular basement membrane (TBM) and synaptic basal lamina (BL).

Best Uses Of The COL4A3 Marker
Whether you're studying the COL4A3 gene or looking for the best COL4A3 antibody, you can find out more about this remarkable genetic marker with this bio of Steven Boster. This bio will also address Boster's research and philanthropy. Continue reading for more information. This bio is more than an interesting read. It is also worth reading.
His research
His research on the COL4A3 gene marker has identified a gene mutation that is homozygous for a specific amino acid. The mutation results from a non-Mendelian inheritance pattern. The nature of the mutation has an impact on the positions and functions of amino acid. The chain in which the gene defect occurs may also influence the phenotypic results.
His philanthropy
Although the Carnegies and Halls may be different in their approaches, their philanthropy shares many similarities. They both saw the same suffering as the common people, even though they built their wealth through ruthless business strategies. Hall set out to find relief and solutions for that pain. His philanthropy remains an important part his legacy. He has made a significant contribution to many areas of society.
