Gene Symbol GAP43
Gene Full Name growth associated protein 43
Background The protein 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
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. [UniProt]
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.

    Immunofluorescence: Cortical neuron-glial cells from E20 Rat stained with ARG10716 anti-GAP43 antibody [5E8] (red) at 1:1000 dilution and costained with ARG52313 anti-GFAP antibody (green) at 1:2000 dilution. DAPI (blue) for nuclear staining.

    The GAP43 antibody labels protein expressed in the axonal membrane of neuronal cells, while the GFAP antibody stains astroglial cells.

    Western blot: 1) SH-SY5Y cell lysate, and  2) whole Rat brain lysate was stained with ARG10716 anti-GAP43 antibody [5E8] at 1: 2000 dilution.

  • ARG10716 anti-GAP43 antibody [5E8] WB image

    Western blot: Rat brain, Rat spinal cord, Mouse brain, Mouse spinal cord, C6 and SH-SY5Y cell lysates stained with ARG10716 anti-GAP43 antibody [5E8] (green) at 1:2000 dilution.

    The protein is expressed in rodent and Human neurons and neuronal derived cells but not in C6 cells which are of glial origin.
