Overview
GFAP a class-III intermediate filament protein. A cell-specific marker that, during the development of the central nervous system, distinguishes astrocytes from other glial cells. Mutations in this gene cause Alexander disease, a rare disorder of astrocytes in the central nervous system. An additional transcript variant isoform has been described, but its full length sequence has not been determined. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
Protein type: Cytoskeletal protein
Cellular Component: cell projection; cytoplasm; intermediate filament; cytosol
Molecular Function: integrin binding; structural constituent of cytoskeleton
Biological Process: extracellular matrix organization and biogenesis; Bergmann glial cell differentiation; regulation of neurotransmitter uptake; response to wounding; neurite regeneration; intermediate filament organization; astrocyte development
Reference #:  P14136 (UniProtKB)
Alt. Names/Synonyms: FLJ45472; GFAP; Glial fibrillary acidic protein
Gene Symbols: GFAP
Molecular weight: 49,880 Da
Basal Isoelectric point: 5.42  Predict pI for various phosphorylation states
