GFAP Antibody (Astrocyte Marker)| F40242-0.4ML

GFAP Antibody (Astrocyte Marker)| F40242-0.4ML | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Background: This gene encodes one of the major intermediate filament proteins of mature astrocytes. It is used as a marker to distinguish astrocytes from other glial cells during development. Mutations in this gene cause Alexander disease, a rare disorder of astrocytes in the central nervous system. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.
