Bioactivity | Highly purified Type XI collagen, from human sternal cartilage (Human Type XI collagen, immunization grade) is an immune grade collagen derived from human sternal cartilage, which can stimulate the animal's immune system to produce specific antibodies against this collagen. Collagen is also a substrate for hydrolysis by MMPs[1][2]. |
Molar Mass | 360000.00 |
Transport | Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere. |
Storage | Please store the product under the recommended conditions in the Certificate of Analysis. |
