- Recommended Usage
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded immunohistochemical staining. For immunohistochemistry, a concentration range of 1.0 - 10 μg/ml is suggested. For Western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.5 - 5.0 ?g per ml. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
- Application Notes
SMI 23 provides for general visualization of GFAP in astrocytes and Bergman glia, it detects a more selected group of astrocytomas than mixtures of SMI 23, 24 and 25. The significance of this selectivity has not yet been explored. Possibilities are different characteristics of individual tumors or cooperativity of antibodies.

- AB_2632645 (BioLegend Cat. No. 837304)
- Structure
- GFAP is a 432 amino acid protein with a molecular mass of approximately 50 kD.
- Distribution
-
Tissue distribution: GFAP is expressed by numerous cell types of the central nervous system (CNS) including astrocytes, ependymal cells, and Bergmann glia cells (protoplasmic astrocyte). GFAP is expressed in cells lacking fibronectin.
Cellular distribution: cytoskeleton and cytosol.
- Function
- GFAP is a class-III intermediate filament and a structural constituent of the cytoskeleton. It is a cell-specific marker that is used to distinguish astrocytes from other glial cells during the development of the CNS.
