An emerging biomarker for neurological disorders

Aug 25, 2022

GFAP (Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein) is a type III intermediate filament protein that is expressed by numerous cell types in the central nervous system (CNS), including astrocytes and ependymal cells during development.

GFAP has been shown to be important in the pathogenesis of Alexander disease and in repair after CNS injury. Evidence suggests that minor changes in blood GFAP levels are associated with subtle injuries to the CNS. Decreases in GFAP expression have been reported in Down's syndrome, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression.

Serum GFAP shows promise as a biomarker of disease severity in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and might be a suitable multiple sclerosis progression biomarkers. In addition, few studies have explored the possibility of blood GFAP levels as a biomarker for traumatic spinal cord injury.
