target relevance
Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) is a crucial cell marker widely employed in neuroscience and neurobiology research. It is an intermediate filament protein primarily found in astrocytes, a type of glial cell in the central nervous system. GFAP serves as a reliable marker for identifying and characterizing astrocytes in various experimental models and tissues. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence techniques using antibodies targeting GFAP enable researchers to visualize and quantify astrocytic populations, gaining insights into their distribution, morphology, and function in the brain. Moreover, GFAP antibodies are instrumental in studying astrocyte reactivity, a phenomenon occurring in response to brain injury or neurodegenerative diseases. As astrocytes play critical roles in neural development, neurotransmitter regulation, and maintenance of the blood-brain barrier, GFAP has proven indispensable in advancing our understanding of glial biology and its contribution to neurological disorders.

Protein names
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)
Gene names
GFAP,GFAP
Protein family
Intermediate filament family
Mass
49880Da
Function
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.
Subellular location
Cytoplasm Note=Associated with intermediate filaments.
Tissues
Expressed in cells lacking fibronectin.
Structure
Interacts with SYNM. ; [Isoform 2]: Interacts with PSEN1 (via N-terminus).
Post-translational modification
Phosphorylated by PKN1.
Involvement in disease
Alexander disease (ALXDRD) [MIM:203450]: A rare disorder of the central nervous system. The most common form affects infants and young children, and is characterized by progressive failure of central myelination, usually leading to death within the first decade. Infants with Alexander disease develop a leukodystrophy with macrocephaly, seizures, and psychomotor retardation. Patients with juvenile or adult forms typically experience ataxia, bulbar signs and spasticity, and a more slowly progressive course. Histologically, Alexander disease is characterized by Rosenthal fibers, homogeneous eosinophilic inclusions in astrocytes. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

ICC/IF-image-mouse-anti-GFAP-monoclonal-antibody-5C10-3743
Immunofluorescent analysis of cortical neuron-glial cell culture from E20 rat stained with mouse mAb to GFAP, 3743, dilution 1:1,000 in red, and costained with rabbit pAb to NF-L, dilution 1:2,000 in red. The blue is DAPI staining of nuclear DNA. The 3743 antibody stains astrocytes, while antibody reveals dendrites and axons of neurons.

This is one of a series of formalin fixed paraffin embedded adult horse brain samples generated by Maureen T. Long in the Department of Infectious Diseases and Pathology, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Florida. The findings were recently published in the Equine Veterinary Journal, link here. The brains from this series were removed whole, sliced incompletely cross ways and fixed over a 10-20 day period. The whole brain was put in a large necropsy specimen bucket containing 1-2 gallons of fixative, and after 24 hours, the formalin was poured off and then fresh formalin was added. The samples were fixed and embedded in paraffin in 2007 and sections were kept at room temperature until 2011. The sections were processed for antigen retrieval by boiling in pH=6 Citrate buffer for 10 min. Primary incubation with 3743 was for 1 hour at 37°C, and secondary antibody incubation and color reaction was performed using the Vector mouse 8718C kit.
