epitope corresponding to phosphorylated Ser 13 of GFAP of human origin
Modification
Phosphoralated
Modification Notes
Glial fibrillary acidic protein, or GFAP, is an intermediate filament (IF) protein belonging to the type III subclass of IF proteins. Like other IF proteins, GFAP is composed of an amino terminal head domain, a central rod domain and a carboxy terminal tail domain. GFAP is specifically found in astroglia, a cell type which is highly responsive to neurologic insults. Astrogliosis is found to be a result of mechanical trauma, AIDS dementia, prion infection and inflammatory demylination diseases, and is accompanied by an increase in GFAP expression. GFAP is an immunohistochemical marker for localizing benign astrocyte and neoplastic cells of glial origin in the central nervous system. In cytokinesis, the p-Ser 8 residues become dephosphorylated, whereas Thr 7, Ser 13 (Ser 12 in mouse) and Ser 34 in glial filaments at the cleavage furrow become the preferred sites of phosphorylation.
