| Applications: | IF, WB, IHC-P-Leica |
| Species Reactivity: | Human |
| Isotype: | IgG2b,k |
| Purification: | Mouse Monoclonal Antibody |
| 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. |
| Further Information: | This GFAP monoclonal antibody is generated from mouse immunized with GFAP recombinant protein. |
| Synonym: | Glial fibrillary acidic protein, GFAP, GFAP |
| Ascension Number: | P14136 |
| NCBI EntrezGene: | 2670 |
| Shipping Conditions: | Ship on cold packs |
| Storage: | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8 C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20 C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Usage: | Research use only |
