Activity summary

GAP43 commonly called Growth Associated Protein 43 or neuronal marker is a protein with a molecular weight of approximately 25-50 kDa. Researchers identify it by various names including GAP-43 GAP43 anticuerpo or GAP43 neuronal marker. This protein exhibits a specific presence in the nervous system especially in axons of neurons. It has significant expression during neural development and regeneration indicating its role in growth and repair.

Biological function summary

GAP43 plays an important role in neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. It functions as an important mediator of signal transduction in neurons. GAP43 does not act alone but integrates into a network of signaling pathways that guide axonal elongation and branching. It works closely with cytoskeletal elements influencing the structural dynamics needed for effective neuronal response and adaptation.

Pathways

GAP43 is vital in the regulation of the protein kinase C pathway and the cAMP pathway both essential for neuronal growth and differentiation. It closely interacts with proteins such as calmodulin which binds to GAP43 and impacts its function in those pathways. These interactions highlight its role in the modulation of neuronal growth and synaptic plasticity making it essential for neurons' response to environmental signals.

Associated diseases and disorders

GAP43 associates with neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive disorders particularly Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia. Changes in GAP43 expression levels correlate with the severity and progression of these conditions. Additionally GAP43 connects to other proteins implicated in such diseases like tau in Alzheimer's suggesting a multifaceted involvement in disease mechanisms. This makes it a target of interest for therapeutic research as modulating GAP43 activity might alter disease progression.
