Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is the main intermediate filament protein in mature astrocytes, but also an important component of the cytoskeleton in astrocytes during development. Major recent developments in astrocyte biology and the discovery of novel intermediate filament functions enticed the interest in the function of GFAP. The discovery

Gene Expression Patterns, 2006
We have generated transgenic zebrafish that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in glial cells driven by the zebrafish glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) regulatory elements. Transgenic lines Tg(gfap:GFP) were generated from three founders; the results presented here are from the mi2001 line.

GFAP mutations in Alexander disease
International Journal of Developmental Neuroscience, 2002AbstractAlexander disease is a rare but often fatal disease of the central nervous system. Infantile, juvenile and adult forms have been described that present with different clinical signs, but are unified by the characteristic presence in astrocytes of Rosenthal fibers–protein aggregates that contain glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and small ...

Expression Specificity of GFAP Transgenes
Neurochemical Research, 2004Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is an intermediate filament protein found predominantly in astrocytes. This specificity has recommended the GFAP gene promoter for targeting transgene expression to astrocytes. Although both we [Brenner et al. J. Neurosci. 14:1030-1037, (1994)] and others [Mucke et al.

Lesions do not provoke GFAP-expression in the GFAP-immunonegative areas of the teleost brain
Annals of Anatomy - Anatomischer Anzeiger, 2000In the mammalian and avian brains the predominant astroglial elements are astrocytes, and the distribution of GFAP-immunopositivity is rather uneven, some large brain areas being almost devoid of GFAP-immunopositivity. In these areas however, an intense GFAP-immunopositivity appears following injury.

The GFAP proteoform puzzle: How to advance GFAP as a fluid biomarker in neurological diseases
Journal of NeurochemistryGlial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is a well-established biomarker of reactive astrogliosis in the central nervous system because of its elevated levels following brain injury and various neurological disorders. The advent of ultra-sensitive methods for measuring low-abundant proteins has significantly enhanced our understanding of GFAP levels in ...

Neurology, 2010
Endogenous body fluid biomarkers are seldom disease-specific and have to be interpreted in the context of the clinical presentation and in parallel with other diagnostic tests. In this issue of Neurology ®, Takano and colleagues1 present compelling data on the utility of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), from a panel of cell-specific CSF ...

Methods, 1996
The ability to direct expression of genes to astrocytes in mice has been one of the major motivators of transcriptional analyses of the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) gene. Another has been the possibility of discovering signaling pathways that operate during development, disease, and injury-all states that increase GFAP gene activity-by ...

NMOSD or GFAP astrocytopathy? A case report
Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders, 2020We describe a 43-year-old female whose manifestations fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of aquaporin-4 IgG negative neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD). High titer of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) antibody was detected in cerebrospinal fluid. In this case, some symptoms pertained to NMOSD and some to GFAP antibody-related disorders.

Abstract GFAP, glial fibrilfary acidic protein, is a member of the intermediate filament protein superfamily. It is expressed almost exclusively in astrocytes of the CNS but is also found in some cells of the PNS such as non-myelinating Schwann cells. GFAP is extensively used in histology and pathology as a cell-type marker.
