GFAP: cDNA Clones

Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) is a type III intermediate filament protein. GFAP is the predominant component of astrocyte intermediate filaments in the central nervous system and is often used as an astrocytic marker. It has also been detected in the glial cells of the enteric nervous system and some Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system.
