other info1 :
Biological Significance: GFP is an intermediate filament. GFP and vimentin are linked to the same filament network; they are localized in the same filaments. mRNAs encoding the glial intermediate filament protein are spatially dispersed in the glial cell cytoplasm close to the location of the glial filaments.
other info2 :
Immunogen: Gliafilament protein purified from bovine spinal cord.

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: membrane; cytoplasm; intermediate filament; cytosol. Molecular Function: integrin binding; structural constituent of cytoskeleton; kinase binding. 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. Disease: Alexander Disease
