Nielsen Anders Lade, Jørgensen Arne Lund
Abstract excerpt
Glial fibrillary acidic protein, GFAP, is an astrocyte-specific member of the family of intermediate filament proteins which are involved in formation of the cytoskeletal structure. We here present a characterization of the zebrafish GFAP gene and corresponding protein. The zebrafish GFAP gene have the same exon-intron organization as the mammalian orthologoue genes. Comparison of the protein with mammalian GFAP...
