Alpaca derived anti-GFAP VHH single domain antibody (molecular weight:13.6 kDa) with a 6*His tag at its C-terminal, expressed in E. coli under conditions free from animal derived components.
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is a class III intermediate filament protein that is largely expressed in astrocytes in addition to non-myelinating Schwann cells and glial cells. Human GFAP protein is 432 amino acids in length with a theoretical molecular weight of ~50 kDa. GFAP has at least 10 known isoforms, with the most prevalent and common in the brain being GFAP-alpha which is made of a head domain, a rod domain with four coils (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B) joined by linker regions, and a tail domain. GFAP is a marker of mature astrocytes, but is also expressed throughout development in both fetal and adult neural stem cells. While the exact function of GFAP is still elusive, it has been shown to play a role in cellular processes such as migration, mitosis, structural integrity, and signalling.
