Immunogens

Immunogen:

Purified recombinant fragment of human GFAP expressed in E. Coli.

Uniprot:
Gene(ID):
Expression:
P14136 GFAP_HUMAN:

Expressed in cells lacking fibronectin.

Description:
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. An additional transcript variant has been described, but its full length sequence has not been determined.
