Description générale
The GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein) gene encodes an intermediate protein filament-III (50kDa). It is localized particularly to the astrocytes and non-myelinating Schwann cells of the central and peripheral nervous system, respectively.
Spécificité
The product reacts specifically with GFAP and labels astrocytes, glial cells and glial cell derived tumors in immunohistochemical staining. The antibody reacts with glial specific antigen in alcohol or formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human or animal tissue sections.
Immunogène
GFAP from human brain
Application
Anti-Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for:
- immunohistochemical staining at a working dilution of 1:400 using rat brain sections
- immunohistochemical staining of human brain tumor tissue specimens to identify the cells expressing AQP4 (Aquaporin-4)
- immunofluorescence using brain section from mice
Actions biochimiques/physiologiques
Glial fibrillary acidic protein may be used as a marker for distinguishing astrocytes from other glial cells during development of the central nervous system. GFAP is responsible for maintaining the structure of glial cells. It also offers mechanical strength and support to the surrounding neurons and blood brain barrier. Defects in this gene causes Alexander disease, indicated by Rosenthal fibers deposition. It is a rare disorder of astrocytes in the central nervous system. Increased GFAP expression indicates astrogliosis, a sign of neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation.
Forme physique
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide
Stockage et stabilité
Store at 2-8 °C up to one month. For extended storage, solution may be frozen in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in "frost-free" freezers, is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify by centrifugation before use.
