Specifications
Target Information
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), a class-III intermediate filament, serves as a cell-specific marker that distinguishes astrocytes from other glial cells during central nervous system development. As the primary intermediate filament protein in astrocytes, GFAP is not only expressed in these cells but also interacts with neurons. For instance, GFAP-deficient mice exhibit enhanced long-term potentiation (LTP), highlighting GFAP's significant role in regulating synaptic function and neuron-glial cell interactions. Additionally, GFAP-deficient mice show larger cerebral infarct volumes and more severe neurological dysfunction following brain injury.
