Overview
| Product Description | Mouse Monoclonal antibody [GF-02] recognizes Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) |
|---|---|
| Tested Reactivity | Hu, Pig |
| Tested Application | ICC/IF, IHC-Fr, IHC-P, WB |
| Specificity | The clone GF-02 exclusively reacts with intact GFAP molecules. GFAP is the principal marker of astroglial cells in the central nervous system; it 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] |
