Danio rerio Glial fibrillary acidic protein

Danio rerio glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAp) is a protein that is expressed in the glial cells of the zebrafish (Danio rerio). It is a member of the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) family of proteins, which are known to be expressed in the glial cells of the central nervous system. GFAp is composed of a series of domains that are involved in its function.

GFAp plays a critical role in the maintenance and function of glial cells in the central nervous system. It does this by providing structural support and by interacting with various signaling pathways. GFAp has been found to be involved in a number of biological processes, including the development and maintenance of the central nervous system, the regulation of inflammation, and the response to injury.

There have been a number of recent research studies focused on GFAp and its role in the development and function of the central nervous system. For example, a study published in the journal Developmental Neurobiology in 2021 found that GFAp plays a role in the development and maintenance of the blood-brain barrier in zebrafish. Another study published in the journal Glia in 2020 found that GFAp is involved in the response to injury in the central nervous system of zebrafish.
