NeuroMab™ Mouse Anti-GFAP Monoclonal Antibody (CBP309)

Description

The 2E1.E9 antibody reacts with glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), a type III intermediate filament (IF) protein of approximately 49 kDa, which is mainly expressed by astrocytes in the central nervous system, although These glials are high in content. Tumor of origin. GFAP is believed to contribute to the structure and strength of the cytoskeleton. The 2E1.E9 antibody does not cross-react with other IF proteins and can be used to distinguish astrocytes from other glial cells. GFAP has also been identified in Leydig cells, keratinocytes, chondrocytes and bone cells. The GFAP polypeptide contains an N-terminal head, a central rod, and a C-terminal tail domain, and is assembled into a dimer through a process that depends on phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of the N-terminal domain. Several splice variants have been identified, which encode three different isoforms. Many mutations (>50) of the GFAP gene are associated with Alexander's disease, a progressive leukoencephalopathy characterized by cytoplasmic inclusions and myelin dysfunction.

This antibody clone has been verified to be able to label neural stem cells and progenitor cells grown in NeuroInduc™ NS-A Proliferation Kit (Human) (Cat. No. NCC200506ZP) and NeuroInduc™ Proliferation Kit (Mouse & Rat) (Cat. NCC200511ZP).
