Abstract excerpt
Intermediate filaments are critical regulators of cell responses and organizers of cellular structures. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is an intermediate filament protein that provides structural and functional support to astrocytes. GFAP is a key target of oxidative stress and its expression and assembly are altered in brain disease and injury. Moreover, GFAP mutations can provoke protein aggregation and...
