General description
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is an intermediate-filament protein found in the astrocytes of CNS (central nervous system).{56,59} It is located on chromosome 17q21.
The antibody detects endogenous level of total GFAP protein.
Immunogen
Peptide sequence around aa. 423-427 (E-S-K-Q-E), according to the protein NP_002046.1
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) regulates intermediate filament network dynamics, cell morphology and focal adhesions. It helps in maintaining myelination and stability of CNS (central nervous system) white matter architecture.
