About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for GFAP:
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. (provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: GFAP_HUMAN, P14136
Function: GFAP, a class-III intermediate filament, is a cell-specific marker that, during the development of the
central nervous system, distinguishes astrocytes from other glial cells

  • Defects in GFAP are a cause of Alexander disease (ALEXD) [MIM:203450]. Alexander disease is a rare disorder of
  • the central nervous system. It is a progressive leukoencephalopathy whose hallmark is the widespread accumulation of
    Rosenthal fibers which are cytoplasmic inclusions in astrocytes. The most common form affects infants and young
    children, and is characterized by progressive failure of central myelination, usually leading to death usually within
    the first decade. Infants with Alexander disease develop a leukoencephalopathy with macrocephaly, seizures, and
    psychomotor retardation. Patients with juvenile or adult forms typically experience ataxia, bulbar signs and
    spasticity, and a more slowly progressive course
