products description :
Principle of the Assay: This kit was based on sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. Anti-GDF7 antibody was pre-coated onto 96-well plates. And the biotin conjugated anti-GDF7 antibody was used as detection antibodies. The standards, test samples and biotin conjugated detection antibody were added to the wells subsequently, and washed with wash buffer. HRP-Streptavidin was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with wash buffer. TMB substrates were used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the GDF7 amount of sample captured in plate. Read the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microplate reader, and then the concentration of GDF7 can be calculated.

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: cytoplasm; cytosol; intermediate filament; intermediate filament cytoskeleton; lysosome; membrane; myelin sheath. Molecular Function: integrin binding; kinase binding; protein binding; structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Biological Process: astrocyte development; Bergmann glial cell differentiation; extracellular matrix organization and biogenesis; intermediate filament organization; neurite regeneration; regulation of neurotransmitter uptake; regulation of protein complex assembly; response to wounding. Disease: Alexander Disease
