Protein summary

This is preferred isoform of GFAP protein. View all 3 isoforms
GFAP: glial fibrillary acidic protein isoform 1
Description:

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.
