      Background InformationGAP-43, a common marker of differentiating neurons, is expressed at elevated levels by developing or regenerating neurons during axon growth. While GAP-43 is an integral membrane protein associated with the cytoplasmic surface of axonal growth cones (and synapses), it is absent from dendritic growth cones. In adult brain, GAP-43 is found in high concentration in presynaptic areas where memory formation is thought to occur, such as frontal cortex, limbic system and hippocampus. Phosphorylation of GAP-43 by PKC (at Ser41 on human, mouse, rat, and bovine GAP-43 or Ser42 on chicken and Xenopus GAP-43) is specifically correlated with certain forms of synaptic plasticity.

      Key Applications
      • Immunocytochemistry
      • Immunohistochemistry
      • Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin)
      • Immunoprecipitation
      • Western Blotting
      Application NotesImmunocytochemistry: 1:100-1:400 for mouse primary neurons, NTera2 neurons.

      Immuohistochemistry: 1:2,000 on coronal sections of adult visual cortex (McIntosh and Parkinson, 1990). AB5312 has been used to stain GAP-43 in 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections of mouse olfactory bulb (Legrier, 2001).

      Western blot: 1:500 - 1:1,000. Detects a single band at approximately 50 kDa on western blots of protein extracts from adult visual cortex (McIntosh and Parkinson, 1990).

      Immunoprecipitation

      Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.
      Biological Information

      Entrez Gene Number
      Entrez Gene SummaryThe protein encoded by this gene has been termed a 'growth' or 'plasticity' protein because it is expressed at high levels in neuronal growth cones during development and axonal regeneration. This encoded protein is considered a crucial component of an effective regenerative response in the nervous system.
