Details:

Type iv collagen is a ubiquitous component in basement membranes and provides the major structural support for this matrix. When the collagen iv meshwork is assembled, it provides a scaffold for the assembly of other basement membrane components through interactions with laminin, entactin/nidogen, and heparan sulfate proteoglycan. Collagen iv is useful as a substrate for growth of epithelial, endothelial, muscle, and nerve cells. Collagen plays a role in the regulation of cell growth, differentiation and adhesion, as well as tissue formation.&Nbsp;applications include:       promotion of cell attachment and spreading   cell differentiation and neurite outgrowth     increased proliferation of pc12 cells     studies of effects of collagen iv on cell behavior     cell adhesion assays  source: engelbreth-holm-swarm (ehs) lathrytic mouse tumor  quality control   tested for ability to initiate differentiation (neurite outgrowth) of ng-108 rat glioma/mouse neuroblastoma cells   tested and found negative for bacteria and fungi     collagen iv purity >90% by sds-page  storage:  2°c to 8°c.
