GAP-43 Antibody (3H14) - BSA Free

Western Blot: GAP-43 Antibody [NBP3-05535] - Western blot analysis of different tissue and cell lysates using GAP-43 Antibody at a dilution of 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 GAP-43 protein. The protein is expressed in rodent and human neurons and neuronal derived cells but not in C6 cells which are of glial origin.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: GAP-43 Antibody [NBP3-05535] - Immunofluorescent analysis of cortical neuron-glial cell culture from E20 rat stained with GAP-43 Antibody at a dilution of 1:1,000, in red, and costained with chicken pAb to MAP2 at a dilution of 1:10,000, in green. The blue is DAPI staining of nuclear DNA. GAP-43 antibody labels protein expressed in the axonal membrane of the neuronal cells, while the MAP2 antibody stains dendrites and perikarya of neurons.

Background

GAP43 (Growth associated protein 43) is a crucial component for regenerative response in the nervous system. 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 protein is present at high levels in neuronal growth cones during development and axonal regeneration.

Heterozygous GAP3 knockout mice with GAP-43 levels reduced by one-half display significant memory impairments in cued conditioning, or on tests of nociceptive or auditory perception. Differentiating neurons that do not express GAP-43 show mislocalization of the centrosome and mitotic spindles, particularly in neurogenic cell divisions. Therefore, the neuronal precursor pool in the cerebellum fails to grow resulting in a cerebellum that is significantly smaller than normal. Total GAP-43 deletion is lethal within days of birth, demonstrating that GAP-43 is critical for the proper development of the mammalian CNS.
