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; neurite regeneration; intermediate filament organization; astrocyte development

Disease: Alexander Disease

Product Notes

The GFAP gfap (Catalog #AAA6249898) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP, FLJ45472) (FITC) reacts with Bovine, Canine, Chicken, Guinea Pig, Human, Mouse, Porcine, Rabbit, Rat, Sheep and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Radioimmunoassay (RIA), Western Blot (WB). 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 "Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein, 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.
