products description :
Intended Uses: This CLIA kit applies to the in vitro quantitative determination of GFAP concentrations in serum, plasma and other biological fluids. Principle of the Assay This kit uses Sandwich-CLIA as the method. The micro CLIA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to GFAP. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate micro CLIA plate wells and combined with the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for GFAP and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate is added to each micro plate well successively and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain GFAP, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear fluorescence. The Relative light unit (RLU) value is measured spectrophotometrically by the Chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer. The RLU value is positively associated with the concentration of GFAP. You can calculate the concentration of GFAP in the samples by comparing the RLU value of the samples to the standard curve.

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 :
GFAP: a class-III intermediate filament protein. A cell-specific marker that, during the development of the central nervous system, distinguishes astrocytes from other glial cells. Mutations in this gene cause Alexander disease, a rare disorder of astrocytes in the central nervous system. An additional transcript variant isoform has been described, but its full length sequence has not been determined. Protein type: Cytoskeletal. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 17q21. Cellular Component: membrane; cytoplasm; intermediate filament; cytosol; myelin sheath. Molecular Function: integrin binding; protein binding; structural constituent of cytoskeleton; kinase binding. Biological Process: extracellular matrix organization and biogenesis; Bergmann glial cell differentiation; regulation of neurotransmitter uptake; response to wounding; neurite regeneration; intermediate filament organization; astrocyte development. Disease: Alexander Disease
