Biological Significance
The glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) gene encodes one of the major intermediate filament proteins of mature astrocytes with multiple isoforms present in the CNS. GFAP is expressed both in the neurospheres from the subventricular zone and the olfactory bulb.
Cross-Reactivity
Human
Immunogen
GFAP antibody was raised in mouse using a protein expressed in 293T cell transfected with human GFAP expression vector as the immunogen.
Preparation and Storage
Store at 4 degree C for short term storage. Aliquot and store at -20 degree C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

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. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

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: membrane; cytoplasm; intermediate filament; cytosol

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

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

Disease: Alexander Disease

Product Notes

The GFAP gfap (Catalog #AAA830856) is an Antibody produced from Mouse 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, Immunofluorescence (IF), Western Blot (WB). IF: 1:100 WB: 1:2000. 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, Monoclonal 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.
