FluoTag-X2® anti-GFAP is a fluorescently conjugated single-domain antibody that recognizes mouse and rat GFAP. It carries two fluorophores and is equipped with specially designed linkers to work in expansion microscopy or enhance post-staining fixation for applications like dSTORM and DNA-PAINT.

FluoTag®-X2 anti-GFAP is derived from a single-domain antibody (sdAb) that specifically recognizes the Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP). GFAP belongs to type III intermediate filaments (like vimentin) and is expressed in various cell types throughout the human body. However, in the central nervous system, it is almost exclusively present in astrocytes, resulting in an important marker to differentiate neurons from astrocytes. GFAP is used primarily as an excellent astrocyte cellular marker.

Our nanobody binds selectively and strongly to mouse and rat GFAP.

FluoTag®-X2 anti-GFAP is directly conjugated to two fluorophores per sdAb (FluoTag®-X2 variant). Additionaly it is equipped with specially designed linkers to work in expansion microscopy or enhance post-staining fixation for applications like dSTORM and DNA-PAINT.
