form :
Supplied as lyophilized form in PBS,pH7.4, containing 5% sucrose, 0.01% sarcosyl.
storage stability :
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Store at 2-8 degree C for one month. Aliquot and store at -80 degree C for 12 months. Stability Test: The thermal stability is described by the loss rate of the targetprotein. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test,that is, incubate the protein at 37 degree C for 48h, and no obvious degradation andprecipitation were observed. (Referring from China Biological Products Standard,which was calculated by the Arrhenius equation.) The loss of this protein is lessthan 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.

ncbi summary :
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.

uniprot summary :
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. Subunit structure: Interacts with SYNM . By similarity. Isoform 3 interacts with PSEN1 (via N-terminus). Ref.16. Subcellular location: Cytoplasm. Note: Associated with intermediate filaments. Ref.16. Tissue specificity: Expressed in cells lacking fibronectin. Ref.3. Post-translational modification: Phosphorylated by PKN1. Ref.18 Ref.19 Ref.20. Involvement in disease: Alexander disease (ALEXD) [MIM:203450]: A rare disorder of the central nervous system. The most common form affects infants and young children, and is characterized by progressive failure of central myelination, usually leading to death within the first decade. Infants with Alexander disease develop a leukodystrophy with macrocephaly, seizures, and psychomotor retardation. Patients with juvenile or adult forms typically experience ataxia, bulbar signs and spasticity, and a more slowly progressive course. Histologically, Alexander disease is characterized by Rosenthal fibers, homogeneous eosinophilic inclusions in astrocytes.Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.22 Ref.23 Ref.24 Ref.25 Ref.26 Ref.27. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
