Overview
| Product Description | Mouse Monoclonal antibody [GF-01] recognizes Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) |
|---|---|
| Tested Reactivity | Hu, Cat, Pig |
| Species Does Not React With | Ms, Rat |
| Tested Application | ICC/IF, IHC-P, IP, WB |
| Specificity | The clone GF-01 reacts with GFAP, the principal marker of astroglial cells in the central nervous system, which is specifically expressed in satellite cells in peripheral ganglia and in non myelinating Schwann cells in peripheral nerves. The GFAP protein runs on gels at ~55 kDa protein, usually associated with lower Mw bands which are thought to be proteolytic fragments and alternate transcripts from the single gene. |

Bioinformation

|---|---|
| Background | GFAP is one of the major intermediate filament proteins of mature astrocytes. It is used as a marker to distinguish astrocytes from other glial cells during development. Mutations in this gene cause Alexander disease, a rare disorder of astrocytes in the central nervous system. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008] |
| Function | GFAP is a class-III intermediate filament. It is a cell-specific marker that, during the development of the central nervous system, distinguishes astrocytes from other glial cells. [UniProt] |
