Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation, Immunofluorescence (Frozen) Specificity / Sensitivity GAP43 (D9C8) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total GAP43 protein. Low levels of non-specific nuclear labeling may be observed by immunocytochemistry (ICC). Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Lys30 of human GAP43 protein. Background GAP43 is a nervous system specific, growth-associated protein enriched in growth cones and areas of high plasticity (1). Phosphorylation of GAP43 at Ser41 by PKC is regulated by intracellular Ca and affects the ability of GAP43 to bind calmodulin (2,3). GAP43 is integral to growth cone formation, neurite outgrowth, and the development of a functional cerebral cortex (4,5). Aberrant GAP43 expression can be seen in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and Alzheimer's Disease (6,7).
