Optimal dilutions should be determined by end users.
Immunogen :
A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human GFAP(417-432aa DGEVIKESKQEHKDVM), identical to the related rat sequence, and different from the related mouse sequence by two amino acids.
Contents :
Each vial contains 5mg BSA, 0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na2HPO4, 0.05mg Thimerosal, 0.05mg NaN3.
Purification :
Immunogen affinity purified.
Reconstitution :
Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.
Storage :
At -20˚C for one year. After reconstitution, at 4˚C for one month. It can also be aliquotted and stored frozen at -20˚C for a longer time. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Relevant detection systems :
Boster provides a series of assays reacted with primary antibodies. Antibody can be supported by chemiluminescence kit EK1002 in WB, supported by SA1022 in IHC(P).
Background :
Glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) is an intermediate-filament(IF) protein that is highly specific for cells of astroglial lineage, although its tissue-specific role is speculative. GFAP has been located in rat kidney glomeruli and peritubular fibroblasts, leydig cells of testis, skin keratinocytes, osteocytes of bones, chondrocytes of epiglottis, bronchus, and stellate-shaped cells of the pancreas and liver. Its expression is essential for normal white matter architecture and blood-brain barrier integrity, and its absence leads to late-onset CNS dysmyelination. GFAP has also been shown to play a role in mitosis by adjusting the filament network present in the cell. During mitosis, there is an increase in the amount of phosphorylated GFAP, and a movement of this modified protein to the cleavage furrow.
