Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): GFAP, a class-III intermediate filament, is a cell- specific marker that, during the development of the central nervous system, distinguishes astrocytes from other glial cells.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Cytoplasm . Associated with intermediate filaments.
Tissue details (datasheet): Expressed in cells lacking fibronectin. .
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Cell Adhesion Proteins,Cell Type Marker,Cell Type Markers,Cytoskeleton,Cytoskeleton/ECM,Intermediate Filaments,Neural Stem Cells,Neuroscience,Signal Transduction,Stem Cells,Tags & Cell Markers.
- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Immunofluorescence / ICC: Visualize subcellular localization and co-localization patterns; consider fixation/permeabilization compatibility and controls.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a monoclonal antibody, this reagent is expected to recognize a defined epitope, which can support consistency across lots when epitope accessibility is preserved.
