Results for "Childhood Fibrillary Astrocytoma": 3 genes

Name

GFAP Gene

glial fibrillary acidic protein

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.
