Gap-43 (Ser41) Antibody

Gap-43 is thought to have an important role in development and plasticity because it is expressed at high levels in neuronal growth cones during development and during axonal regeneration (Benowitz and Routtenberg, 1997) . There is also evidence from knockout animals that Gap-43 serves to amplify pathfinding signals from the growth cone (Strittmatter et al., 1995) . Gap-43 is thought to mediate at least some of these effects via interaction with actin. Importantly, phosphorylation at Ser-41 by protein kinase C (Catalog No. 1609-PKC) modulates the interaction of Gap-43 with actin (He et al., 1997) and may also affect neurotransmitter release during forms of plasticity like LTP (Hulo et al., 2002) .

Specific for endogenous levels of the ~50 kDa Gap-43 protein phosphorylated at Ser41. In some tissues the antibody also recognizes a higher molecular weight protein that is also recognized by the pan Gap-43 antibody, which may be a Gap-43 aggregate or oligomer. Immunolabeling is completely eliminated by treatment with λ-phosphatase.
