NCIt synonyms : GFAP; Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Alpha Isoform; GFAP Alpha;

NCIt related terms : GFAP-alpha Isoform; GLIAL FIBRILLARY ACIDIC PROTEIN ALPHA SUBUNIT; GFAPa; GFAP-alpha;

NCIt 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.;

Alternative definition : CDISC: The alpha isoform (i.e. the canonical form) of the glial fibrillary acidic protein which is involved in both neuronal maintenance and astrocyte morphology and motility. It can be considered as an autoantigen and is commonly associated with autoimmune astrocytopathy.;

NCIt note : Glial fibrillary acidic protein is used as a marker to distinguish astrocytes from other glial cells. (Entrez Gene); UniProt considers the GFAP alpha isoform the canonical sequence.;
