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.

Small volumes of GFAP recombinant protein vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS948245 is a recombinant protein targeting GFAP. Also known as Recombinant Mouse Glial fibrillary acidic protein (Gfap). Host: E Coli or Yeast or Baculovirus or Mammalian Cell.
