Description

Induction of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), a hallmark intermediate filament (IF) in astrocytes that contributes to synapse formation and axonal metabolic homeostasis in the central nervous system, is essential for the formation of an astrocytic process (astrocytosis) during nerve repair. Chronic reactive astrocytosis is associated with several neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. GFAP is also considered as one of the markers for the diagnosis of AD.

HKIG innovative products: GFAP antigen. The protein was expressed in mammalian cells and prepared, covering the full length of the protein with high purity, maintaining the native protein conformation to the maximum extent and close to the natural protein structure in the physiological state, which is helpful for the accurate quantitative detection of related indicators.
