ncbi summary :
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.

uniprot summary :
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. Protein type: Cytoskeletal. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 17q21. Cellular Component: cytoplasm; cytosol; intermediate filament; intermediate filament cytoskeleton; lysosome; membrane; myelin sheath. Molecular Function: glycoprotein binding; integrin binding; kinase binding; protein binding; structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Biological Process: astrocyte development; Bergmann glial cell differentiation; extracellular matrix organization and biogenesis; intermediate filament organization; neurite regeneration; regulation of neurotransmitter uptake; regulation of protein complex assembly; response to wounding. Disease: Alexander Disease
