Target Information
| Target Symbol | GFAP |

| UniProt ID | P14136 |
| Biomarker of SCs/CSCs | Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) Characterization |
| 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. |
| Cellular Localization | Cytoplasm. Associated with intermediate filaments. |
| Post-transcriptional Modifications | Phosphorylated by PKN1. |
| Involvement in Disease | Alexander disease (ALXDRD): A rare disorder of the central nervous system. The most common form affects infants and young children, and is characterized by progressive failure of central myelination, usually leading to death within the first decade. Infants with Alexander disease develop a leukodystrophy 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. Histologically, Alexander disease is characterized by Rosenthal fibers, homogeneous eosinophilic inclusions in astrocytes. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
