Bioss Inc.'s GFAP (Ser38) Polyclonal Antibody, Cy7 Conjugated is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: Flow Cytometry, and Western Blot. The GFAP (Ser38) Polyclonal Antibody, Cy7 Conjugated was generated using GFAP, and Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein as the antigen and it reacts with Homo Sapiens, Human, and Mouse.
Description
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is a member of the class III intermediate filament protein family. It is heavily, and specifically, expressed in astrocytes and certain other astroglia in the central nervous system, in satellite cells in peripheral ganglia, and in non myelinating Schwann cells in peripheral nerves. In addition, neural stem cells frequently strongly express GFAP. to GFAP are therefore very useful as markers of astrocytic cells. In addition many types of brain tumor, presumably derived from astrocytic cells, heavily express GFAP. GFAP is also found in the lens epithelium, Kupffer cells of the liver, in some cells in salivary tumors and has been reported in erythrocytes
