| DEFINITION |
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (432 aa, ~50 kDa) is encoded by the human GFAP gene. This protein may be involved in both neuronal maintenance and astrocyte morphology and motility. |
| DesignNote |
Glial fibrillary acidic protein is used as a marker to distinguish astrocytes from other glial cells. (Entrez Gene) |
