products full name :
GOAT ANTI HUMAN GFAP (C-TERMINAL)
products short name :
GFAP
other names :
glial fibrillary acidic protein isoform 2; Glial fibrillary acidic protein; glial fibrillary acidic protein; glial fibrillary acidic protein
products gene name :
GFAP
other gene names :
GFAP; GFAP; GFAP
uniprot entry name :
GFAP_HUMAN
reactivity :
Dog (Expected from Sequence), Mouse, Rat (Expected from Sequence)
specificity :
This item recognises an epitope within the C-terminal (CT) region of human GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein), a class III intermediate filament (IF) protein specifically expressed by glial cells or cells of glial origin e.g astrocytes, ependymal cells and Schwann cells. GFAP plays a role in several cellular functions within the central nervous system (CNS), including cell structure and stability, communication, motility and mitosis, and is rapidly synthesized during astrogliosis, following trauma/injury. Mutations in the GFAP gene are responsible for the rare autosomal dominant disorder known as Alexander disease, resulting in the destruction of brain white matter and the formation of fibrous, eosinophilic deposits known as Rosenthal fibers. Characteristics of this disease are associated with transgenes and other mutation types in mouse.

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.
