Background

Growth Associated Protein-43 (GAP-43), also known as nerve growth-related growth peptide GAP43, shares a high degree of homology between the sequence of the human gene and the rat gene. GAP-43 is considered a crucial component of an effective regenerative response in the nervous system. Somatic cell hybrids demonstrate localization of the GAP-43 gene to human chromosome 3 and to mouse chromosome 16. GAP-43 has been termed a growth or plasticity protein because it is expressed at high levels in neuronal growth cones during development and during axonal regeneration. GAP-43 regulates growth of axons and modulates the formation of new connections.

Immunogen

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human GAP43, different from the related mouse and rat sequences by one amino acid.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Tissue Specificity

Isoform 3 is expressed in pancreatic islets, testis, adrenal cortex, and perhaps other endocrine tissues, but not in brain. .

Applications

IHC, WB

Field of Research

Axonal Guidance Proteins, Cell Type Marker, Growth and Development, Neurology Process, Neuron Marker, Neuroscience, Synapse Marker

Purification

Immunogen affinity purified.

Concentration

Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml.

Form

Lyophilized

Reconstitution

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

Function

This protein is associated with nerve growth. It is a major component of the motile growth cones that form the tips of elongating axons. Plays a role in axonal and dendritic filopodia induction. .
