glial fibrillary acidic protein |
| Gene Summary |
Enables integrin binding activity and kinase binding activity. A structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Involved in positive regulation of glial cell proliferation and regulation of chaperone-mediated autophagy. Located in astrocyte projection and cytoplasmic side of lysosomal membrane. Biomarker of brain edema and retinal disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alexander disease. Orthologous to human GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein).
