Anti-GAP43 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro550 Conjugated
Product Specifications
Background
Growth Associated Protein 43 (GAP43) is a protein encoded by the GAP43 gene in humans. It is mapped to 3q13.31. The 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 protein is considered a crucial component of an effective regenerative response in the nervous system. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.

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.
