Specificity of the glial fibrillary acidic protein for astroglia.
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFA) is the main constituent of glial filaments and the close similarity of GFA and neurofilament protein has been recently reported. However, the immunofluorescence staining of peripheral nerve which may be observed with GFA antisera is not due to cross-reaction between GFA and neurofilament protein. Staining of peripheral axons was also observed with control s...
متن کاملThe endless story of the glial fibrillary acidic protein.
All intermediate filament proteins consist of an alpha-helical rod domain flanked by non-helical N-terminal head and C-terminal tail domains. The roles of the non-helical domains of various intermediate filament proteins in the assembly and co-assembly of higher-order filamentous structures have been studied by many groups but with quite contradictory results. Type III intermediate filaments ar...
متن کاملGlial fibrillary acidic protein is localized in the lens epithelium
The epithelium of the mouse lens stains intensely with antisera to glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). A protein co-migrating with GFAP and immunoreactive with antisera to GFAP can be demonstrated in lens epithelium protein extracts by immunoblots. GFAP has previously been considered unique to cells of neural origin, but this study demonstrates that ectodermally derived cells express GFAP o...
متن کاملGlial Fibrillary Acidic Protein-Expressing Glia in the Mouse Lung
Autonomic nerves regulate important functions in visceral organs, including the lung. The postganglionic portion of these nerves is ensheathed by glial cells known as non-myelinating Schwann cells. In the brain, glia play important functional roles in neurotransmission, neuroinflammation, and maintenance of the blood brain barrier. Similarly, enteric glia are now known to have analogous roles i...
متن کاملModelling and Characterization of Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein
Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) is an intermediate-filament (IF) protein that maintains the astrocytes of the Central Nervous System in Human. This is differentially expressed during serological studies in inflamed condition such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Therefore, it is of interest to glean molecular insight using a model of GFAP (49.88 kDa) due to its crystallographic nonavailabil...
