Target Details for GFAP

Target: GFAP (Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP))

Alternative Name: GFAP

Background: GFAP, Glial fibrillary acidic protein, GFAPGFAP encodes glial fibrillary acidic protein, 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 GFAP cause Alexander disease, a rare disorder of astrocytes in the central nervous system. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.
