GeneID: 2670 Human GFAP

Swiss-port # P14136 Human Glial fibrillary acidic protein

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.

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]
