Description
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is a major structural component of astrocytes. Phosphorylation of GFAP, and its association with annexin II-p2 and S-100, regulates GFAP polymerization. One of the first events that occurs during astrocyte proliferation is increased GFAP expression. Antibodies to GFAP have been detected in individuals with dementia, although the significance of this has not been conclusively determined
