Background:

GAP-43 (growth associated protein 43, B-50, PP46, calmodulin-binding protein P-57, neuromodulin, neuron growth-associated protein 43, protein F1 is a crucial component for regenerative response in the nervous system. It is present at high levels in neuronal growth cones during development and axonal regeneration. GAP-43 is normally produced by neurons during developmental growth and axonal regeneration, but it is also expressed in specific regions of the normal adult nervous system. The neuron-specific Elav/Hu family member, HuD, interacts with and stabilizes GAP-43 mRNA in developing neurons and leads to increased levels of GAP-43 protein.

Specificity:

p-GAP-43 (S41) polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of GAP-43 protein only when phosphorylated at Ser41.
