The following Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of glial fibrillary acidic protein in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the GFAP gene. This protein has been described to function in Bergmann glial cell differentiation and extracellular matrix organization. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 432 residues, a mass of 49.9 kDa, and is a member of the Intermediate filament protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cytoplasm. In addition, it is reported to be expressed in cells lacking fibronectin. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally phosphorylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Alexander disease. This protein may also be known as ALXDRD.
There are glial fibrillary acidic protein ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 1 ng/L and as high as 50 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
