Scientific Data Images for GAP-43 Antibody - BSA Free

Western Blot: GAP-43 Antibody [NBP1-92714]

Western Blot: GAP-43 Antibody [NBP1-92714]

Western Blot: GAP-43 Antibody [NBP1-92714] - Western blot analysis of different tissue and cell lysates using chicken pAb to GAP43, NBP1-92714, dilution 1:5,000 in green: [1] protein standard (red), [2] rat brain, [3] rat spinal cord, [4] mouse brain, [5] mouse spinal cord, [6] C6 cells, [7] SH-SY5Y cells. Single band at the 43kDa mark corresponds to GAP43. The GAP43 protein only is detected in the lysates of neuronal origin. C6 cells are a rat glioma cell line and do not express GAP43.
Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: GAP-43 Antibody [NBP1-92714]

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: GAP-43 Antibody [NBP1-92714]

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: GAP-43 Antibody [NBP1-92714] - Immunofluorescent analysis of cortical neuron-glial cell culture from E20 rat stained with chicken pAb to GAP43, NBP1-92714, dilution 1:2,000 in green, and costained with rabbit pAb to alpha-II spectrin, dilution 1:1,000 in red. The blue is DAPI staining of nuclear DNA. GAP43 antibody labels protein expressed in the axonal membrane and synapses of neuronal cells, while the spectrin antibody stains the submembraneous cytoskeleton of axons and dendrites.

Background: GAP-43

GAP43 (growth associated protein 43, also called B-50, PP46, calmodulin-binding protein P-57, neuromodulin, neuron growth-associated protein 43, protein F1) is a major component of motile "growth cones" that form the tips of elongating axons as well as the synaptic plasma membranes. GAP43 is associated with nerve growth process and plays a key role in axonal as well as dendritic filopodia induction. It has been detected in a complex containing FGFR4, NCAM1, CDH2, PLCG1, FRS2, SRC, SHC1, GAP43 and CTTN, and binds calmodulin with superior affinity in the absence of Ca2+ than in its presence. Intracellular Ca2+ regulates PKC mediated phosphorylation of GAP43 and affects GAP43's ability to bind calmodulin. GAP43 is integral to growth cone formation, neurite outgrowth, and the development of a functional cerebral cortex. Aberrant expression of GAP43 has been seen in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease.
