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.
Host Mouse
Clonality Monoclonal
Clone GF-02
Isotype IgM
Target Name GFAP
Antigen Species Pig
Immunogen Pellet of porcine brain cold-stable proteins after depolymerization of microtubules.
Conjugation Un-conjugated
Alternate Names Glial fibrillary acidic protein; ALXDRD; GFAP

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.

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]
