Gene Full Name : 
Glial fibrillary acidic protein
Synonyms : 
Glial fibrillary acidic protein; GFAP; Gfap;
Protein Name : 
Glial fibrillary acidic protein
Molecular Weight : 
49957 MW
Protein Function : 
GFAP, a class-III intermediate filament, is a cell- specific marker that, during the development of the central nervous system, distinguishes astrocytes from other glial cells.
Subcellular Localization : 
Cytoplasm. Associated with intermediate filaments.
Tissue Specificity : 
Expressed in the cortex and hippocampus. Expression decreases following acute and chronic corticosterone treatment.
Recommended Detection Systems : 
Boster recommends Enhanced Chemiluminescent Kit with anti-Mouse IgG (EK1001) for Western blot, and HRP Conjugated anti-Mouse IgG Super Vision Assay Kit (SV0001-1) for IHC(P) and IHC(F).
Sequence Similarities : 
Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
Background : 
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is an intermediate filament protein of 52Kda. GFAP gene is mapped to human 17q21. GFAP is a useful marker of astroglia in the brain. Mutations in GFAP, encoding glial fibrillary acidic protein, are associated with Alexander disease.
