Biological context of GFAP

  • 3. The phosphorylation of GFAP was dependent on Ca2+ in the incubation medium in adult animals [10].
  • As a consequence, the resulting human GFAPkappa protein harbors a nonconserved C-terminal tail sequence distinct from the tails of GFAPalpha, the predominant GFAP isoform, and GFAPepsilon, an isoform which also results from alternative splicing [8].
