Beschreibung

Allgemeine Beschreibung

GAP-43, a common marker of differentiating neurons, is expressed at elevated levels by developing or regenerating neurons during axon growth. While GAP-43 is an integral membrane protein associated with the cytoplasmic surface of axonal growth cones (and synapses), it is absent from dendritic growth cones. In adult brain, GAP-43 is found in high concentration in presynaptic areas where memory formation is thought to occur, such as frontal cortex, limbic system and hippocampus. Phosphorylation of GAP-43 by PKC (at Ser41 on human, mouse, rat, and bovine GAP-43 or Ser42 on chicken and Xenopus GAP-43) is specifically correlated with certain forms of synaptic plasticity.

Spezifität

AB5312 specifically recognizes GAP-43 regardless of the protein′s phosphorylation state. This antiserum has been refered to in the literature as CG-1.

Immunogen

Purified GAP-43 from feline brain (McIntosh and Parkinson, 1990).

Signalübertragung & Neurowissenschaft

Immunocytochemistry: 1:100-1:400 for mouse primary neurons, NTera2 neurons.

Immuohistochemistry: 1:2,000 on coronal sections of adult visual cortex (McIntosh and Parkinson, 1990). AB5312 has been used to stain GAP-43 in 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections of mouse olfactory bulb (Legrier, 2001).

Western blot: 1:500 - 1:1,000. Detects a single band at approximately 50 kDa on western blots of protein extracts from adult visual cortex (McIntosh and Parkinson, 1990).

Immunoprecipitation

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

This Anti-Growth Associated Protein 43 Antibody is validated for use in IC, IH, IH(P), IP, WB for the detection of Growth Associated Protein 43.
