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.

Protein type: Cytoskeletal

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 17q21

Cellular Component: cytoplasm; cytosol; intermediate filament; intermediate filament cytoskeleton; lysosome; membrane; myelin sheath

Molecular Function: glycoprotein binding; integrin binding; kinase binding; protein binding; structural constituent of cytoskeleton

Biological Process: astrocyte development; Bergmann glial cell differentiation; extracellular matrix organization and biogenesis; intermediate filament organization; neurite regeneration; regulation of neurotransmitter uptake; regulation of protein complex assembly; response to wounding

Disease: Alexander Disease

Product Notes

The GFAP gfap (Catalog #AAA543748) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's GFAP can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunodepletion, Immunocompetition. Immunohistochemistry: 1:200 Western Blot: 1:500. 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, Blocking Peptide" 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.
