|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Application Note | Specific for the ~50k 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, that may be a Gap-43 aggregate or oligomer. Immunolableing is blocked by the phosphopeptide used as antigen but not by the corresponding dephosphopeptide. Immunolabeling is completely eliminated by treatment with λ-Ptase. * The dilutions indicate recommended starting dilutions and the optimal dilutions or concentrations should be determined by the scientist. |

| Gene Symbol | GAP43 |
| Gene Full Name | growth associated protein 43 |
| Background | 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). |
| Research Area | Neuroscience antibody |
| Calculated MW | 25 kDa |
| PTM | Phosphorylated at Ser-41 by PHK. Phosphorylation of this protein by a protein kinase C is specifically correlated with certain forms of synaptic plasticity. Palmitoylation by ARF6 is essential for plasma membrane association and axonal and dendritic filopodia induction. Deacylated by LYPLA2. |
