Gene Information
human ... GFAP(2670)
General description
Glial fibrillary acidic protein is a class-III intermediate filament. GFAP is the main constituent of intermediate filaments in astrocytes and serves as a cell specific marker that distinguishes differentiated astrocytes from other glial cells during the development of the central nervous system.
Specificity
It is expected that the antibody will react with most mammalian GFAP due to homology. Reactivity with other species has not been confirmed.
Recognizes Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP).
Immunogen
Purified bovine GFAP
