• Specificity: Clone 1D6 is a ZooMAb rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects human Growth-Associated Protein 43 (GAP43).
• Immunogen: GST/His-tagged recombinant fragment corresponding to the first 126 amino acids from the N-terminal half of human Growth-Associated Protein 43 (GAP43).
• Application: Anti-GAP43, clone 1D6 ZooMAb, Cat. No. ZRB1220, is a highly specific rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that targets Growth-associated protein 43 (GAP43) and has been tested for use Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin). And Western Blotting.
• Target description: Neuromodulin (UniProt: P17677; also known as Axonal membrane protein GAP-43, Growth-associated protein 43, Neural phosphoprotein B-50, pp46) is encoded by the GAP43 gene (Gene ID: 2596) in human. GAP43 is a peripheral membrane protein that is associated with nerve growth. It serves as a common marker of differentiating neurons. It is a major component of the motile "growth cones" that form the tips of elongating axons and plays a role in axonal and dendritic filopodia induction. It is expressed at high levels in neuronal growth cones during development and axonal regeneration. However, it is not fond in dendritic cones. In adult brain, GAP43 is found in high concentration in presynaptic areas where memory formation is thought to occur, such as frontal cortex, limbic system and hippocampus. GAP43 contains an N-terminal lipid binding IQ domain (aa 31-60) that also binds calmodulin. GAP43 is reported to bind calmodulin at low calcium levels and then releases it when calcium levels increase indicating that calmodulin may serve as a negative regulator of GAP43 during periods of low neuronal activity. Protein kinase C-mediated phosphorylation serine 41 is reported to inhibit this interaction and stabilizes actin filaments and promotes growth cone extension. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.(Ref.: Neve, RL et al., (1998). J. Neurosci. 18(19); 7757-7767).
