GFAP is expressed exclusively in astrocytes in the central nervous system. The protein is a member of the intermediate filament family of proteins which form networks providing support and strength to cells. This antibody does not cross-react with other intermediate filaments such as vimentin, neurofilament proteins, desmin and others. More than 50 GFAP mutations have been identified to be associated with the Alexander disease.

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by Western blotting. Western blotting, suggested working dilution(s): Use 0.25 - 1.0 µg antibody per mL antibody dilution buffer for each mini-gel. For immunocytochemistry, a concentration range of 1.0 - 5.0 µg/mL is recommended. For immunohistochemical staining of frozen tissue sections, a concentration range of 5.0 - 10 µg/mL is suggested. For immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections, a concentration range of 1.0 - 10 µg/mL is suggested. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
- Application Notes
-
For Immunohistochemistry, Citrate buffer, 10X (Cat. No. 420902) or Tris-EDTA pH 9.0 is recommended.

Antigen Details
- Structure
- Around 50 kD
- Distribution
-
Only expressed in astrocytes in the central nervous system.
- Function
- Together with other proteins to form intermediate filaments which supports astroglial cells. Astroglial cells support and nourish cells in the brain and spinal cord. If brain cells are injured through trauma or disease, astroglial cells react by rapidly prodcing more GFAP protein.
