NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes 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.

Uniprot Description
GFAP: a class-III intermediate filament protein. A cell-specific marker that, during the development of the central nervous system, distinguishes astrocytes from other glial cells. Mutations in this gene cause Alexander disease, a rare disorder of astrocytes in the central nervous system. An additional transcript variant isoform has been described, but its full length sequence has not been determined.

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 17q21
Cellular Component: membrane; cytoplasm; intermediate filament; cytosol
Molecular Function: integrin binding; structural constituent of cytoskeleton; kinase binding
Biological Process: extracellular matrix organization and biogenesis; Bergmann glial cell differentiation; regulation of neurotransmitter uptake; response to wounding; intermediate filament organization; neurite regeneration; astrocyte development

Product Notes
The GFAP gfap (Catalog #AAA2519691) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The GFAP Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's GFAP can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC). WB: 1:500-1:5000 IHC: 1:20-1:200. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the GFAP gfap for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "GFAP, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
