GFAP Protein, Human, Recombinant (His)

Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) is an intermediate filament (IF) protein which belongs to the intermediate filament family. GFAP is expressed in numerous cell types of the central nervous system (CNS), ependymal cells and phosphorylated by PKN1. GFAP, a class-III intermediate filament, is a cell-specific marker during the development of the central nervous system and distinguishes astrocytes from other glial cells. It is closely related to its non-epithelial family members, vimentin, desmin, and peripherin, which are all involved in the structure and function of the cell’s cytoskeleton. GFAP is thought to help to maintain astrocyte mechanical strength, as well as the shape of cells but its exact function remains poorly understood.

Synonyms	Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein, GFAP
Amino Acid	Leu292-Met432
Construction	Recombinant Human Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Leu292-Met432 is expressed with a 6His tag at the N-terminus.
Protein Purity	Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE. (QC verified)
Molecular Weight	17 KDa, reducing conditions

Endotoxin	Less than 0.1 ng/µg (1 EU/µg) as determined by LAL test.
Formulation	Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20mM Tris-HCl, 10% Trehalose, 0.05% Tween 80, pH 8.5.
Reconstitution	Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
Stability & Storage	Lyophilized protein should be stored at ≤ -20°C, stable for one year after receipt. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 2-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at ≤ -20°C for 3 months.
Shipping	The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature listed below.
