General description
Growth associated protein-43 (GAP-43) is a phosphoprotein associated with membrane. It is located on chromosome 3q13. During neural development and axonal regeneration, GAP43 is upregulated in neuronal growth cones and Schwann cell precursors.
Immunogen
Peptide sequence around aa. 38-43 (Q-A-S-F-R), according to the protein GAP43.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Growth associated protein-43 (GAP-43) participates in neurite outgrowth, growth cone navigation, neurotransmission, stabilization of axonal branches and synaptic plasticity. In humans and mice, GAP43 is recognized as a possible gene for autism and autistic-like disorders.

Target description
GAP43 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.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate-buffered saline containing 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol
