GAP43 Neuromodulin Axonal membrane protein GAP-43 Growth-associated protein 43 PP46 Neural phosphoprotein B-50
Molecular Weight(MW)
24803 Da
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
Tissue Specificity
A synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding serine 41 of human GAP43 was used as an immunogen. This antibody detects both phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated GAP43.
