| Background | Gilial Fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), a 51 kDa an intermediate filament protein is closely related to non-epithelial family members, Vimentin, desmin and peripherin, which are all involved in structure and function of cell cytoskeleton. GFAP is expressed in central nervous system (CNS) in the astrocytes cells, functioning in cellular processes e.g. cell structure, movements, cell communication, brain processes and brain functions. |
