Description

Growth associated protein 43 (GAP43) is very abundant in the nervous system and is found concentrated in the axons and synapses of neurons. It was discovered as one of three proteins which becomes greatly upregulated during the regeneration of toad optic nerve following nerve section. Upregulation of this protein in other situations is frequently seen as indicative of ongoing CNS remodeling. GAP43 antibodies are therefore useful for identifying synapses and axons and monitoring neuronal plasticity. Mouse select image at left for larger view.
Immunofluorescent analysis of cortical neuron-glial cell culture from E20 rat stained with mouse mAb to GAP43, MO22170, dilution 1:1,000, in red, and costained with chicken pAb to MAP2, dilution 1:10,000, in green. The blue is DAPI staining of nuclear DNA. GAP43 antibody labels protein expressed in the axonal membrane of the neuronal cells, while the MAP2 antibody stains dendrites and perikarya of neurons.

Western blot analysis of different tissue and cell lysates using mouse mAb to GAP43, MO22170, 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. The single band at the 43kDa mark corresponds to the GAP43 protein.
