| Short Description : | Guinea Pig polyclonal antibody anti-GFAP (250-300 aa) is suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry and Western Blot research applications. |
| Clonality : | Polyclonal |
| Conjugation: | Unconjugated |
| Formulation: | Lyophilised |
| Purification: | Affinity purification |
| Dilution Range: | IHC, WB. A dilution of 1:300 to 1:2000 is recommended. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user. |
| Storage Instruction: | Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at-20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, Glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles. |
| Gene Symbol: | GFAP |
| Gene ID: | 2670 |
| Uniprot ID: | GFAP_HUMAN |
| Immunogen Region: | 250-300 aa |
| Specificity: | Specific for GFAP. |
| Immunogen: | A synthetic peptide from aa region 250-300 of rat GFAP conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen. The peptide is homologous in mouse and rat. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated by PKN1. |
| 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. |
