The GFAP Antibody (CAB0237) is a high-quality antibody developed for reliable detection and analysis of target proteins. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity with human samples and has been rigorously validated for use in techniques such as Western blotting.GFAP is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity and function of astrocytes, which are essential for supporting neuronal health and function in the brain and spinal cord. Abnormal levels or expression patterns of GFAP have been linked to various neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, traumatic brain injury, and multiple sclerosis.
This antibody is validated for use in WB, IHC-P, IF/ICC, ELISA, IF-P applications and has demonstrated reactivity against Human, Mouse, Rat samples.

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.
