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.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-GAP43 antibody - Neuronal Marker (ab12274)

    ab12274 staining human neuropil. Staining is localized to the cytoplasm and membrane.
    Left panel: with primary antibody diluted 1:2000. Right panel: isotype control.
    Sections were stained using an automated system (Dako PT Link), at room temperature. Sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3-in-1 antigen retrieval buffer, citrate pH 6.0. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 minutes. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 minutes and detected with Dako Envision Flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that for manual staining we recommend to optimize the primary antibody concentration and incubation time (overnight incubation), and amplification may be required.
