Rabbit anti Human GFAP antibody, clone RM246 recognizes glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). GFAP plays a role in several cellular functions within the central nervous system (CNS), including cell structure and stability, communication, motility and mitosis, and is rapidly synthesized during astrogliosis following trauma/injury (Eng and Ghirnikar 1994).

GFAP is an intermediate filament protein that is primarily expressed in astrocytes, and is upregulated following injury to the central nervous system (CNS) (Brenner et al. 2014), inhibiting the inflammatory response and limiting damage within a controllable region (Zhang et al. 2017).

Dominant acting mutations in GFAP leading to elevated GFAP levels in astrocytes is characteristic of Alexander disease, a fatal neurological illness (Messing et al. 2019). GFAP is also a potential marker for tumors with cartilaginous differentiation (Santos et al. 2009).
