Anti-GFAP Antibody

This antibody targets Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP), a class-III intermediate filament that serves as a specific marker for astrocytes in the central nervous system. GFAP is essential for maintaining astrocyte mechanical strength and cytoskeletal structure, distinguishing astrocytes from other glial cells during development. The protein is primarily expressed in the brain, spinal cord, and associated with intermediate filaments in the cytoplasm.

This antibody has been validated for multiple applications including immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry, allowing for precise detection of GFAP in experimental contexts.
