Please refer to the product datasheet for known applications of a given antibody. We\'ve tested the GFAP Antibody: ATTO 488 with the following immunoassay(s):
Western Blot (WB) (Western Blot analysis of Rat Brain Membrane showing detection of GFAP protein using Mouse Anti-GFAP Monoclonal Antibody, Clone S206A-8. Primary Antibody: Mouse Anti-GFAP Monoclonal Antibody at 1:250.)
Background Info: Detects a 50kDa protein in WB. Cross-reacts with GFAP-R416W and other GFAP mutant proteins.
Scientific Background: The 50 kDa type III intermediate filament protein glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is a major structural component of astrocytes. GFAP associates with the calcium binding protein annexin II-p2 and S-100. Association with these proteins together with phosphorylation regulates GFAP polymerization. Astroycytes respond to brain injury by proliferatin (astrogliosis), and one of the first events to occur during astrocyte proiliferation is increased GFAP expression. Interestingly, antibodies to GFAP have been detected in individuals with dementia.
Conjugate: ATTO 488. Storage Buffer: PBS pH 7.4, 50% glycerol, 0.1% sodium azide. In general, we may offer more than one antibody to a given target to enable options for the researcher. Available antibodies recognizing GFAP are readily searchable from our website. Different antibodies against the same target such as GFAP may be optimized or tested for different applications and species. This enables researchers to select the option that may be best for their model system, to screen more than antibody to determine which one may be best for their model system, as well as to use more than one antibody to follow up on and validate their results. Brain Diseases, Brain Injuries, Cardiovascular Diseases, Epilepsy, Gliosis, Inflammation, Necrosis, Nerve Degeneration, Nervous System Diseases, Pain are some of the diseases may be linked to GFAP Antibody: ATTO 488. The following patways have been known to be associated with this gene. Blood, Bone Marrow, Brain, Connective Tissue, Eye, Ganglia, Liver, Muscle, Nerve, Spinal Cord tissues are correlated with this protein.
