| Gene Symbol | GFAP |
| Gene Full Name | glial fibrillary acidic protein |
| Background | This gene encodes one of the major intermediate filament proteins of mature astrocytes. It is used as a marker to distinguish astrocytes from other glial cells during development. Mutations in this gene cause Alexander disease, a rare disorder of astrocytes in the central nervous system. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008] |
| Function | 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. [UniProt] |
| Cellular Localization | Cytoplasm. Note=Associated with intermediate filaments. [UniProt] |
| Calculated MW | 50 kDa |
| PTM | Phosphorylated by PKN1. [UniProt] |
