STAINING SUMMARY

HPA056030	HPA063513	CAB000039

GENE INFORMATION
Gene name	GFAP (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms	FLJ45472
Description	Glial fibrillary acidic protein (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary	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.
