Product details
This antibody is useful as a general reagent for the detection of axonal growth cones in tissue sections and potentially a key marker in neuronal development research.
This antibody recognises an intracellular protein 2G13p which is restricted to growth cones in developing brain and embryonic neurons in culture. The protein 2G13p also appears to be associated with filamentous actin in the growth cones suggesting a role for 2G13p in growth cone motility. This antibody is suitable for use in immunohistological studies of both frozen and paraffin-embedded sections, staining growth cones, including their filopodia and lamellipodies.

Biological function summary
Growth cones are critical for neuronal development and network formation. They function as sensory-motile organelles that explore the extracellular environment responding to guidance cues such as soluble gradients or substrate-bound cues. They translate these signals into directed movement and steering decisions for axonal pathways. Growth cones operate not just as individual units but are part of larger cellular complexes coordinating with other cytoskeletal structures and signaling molecules such as calcium ions and cyclic nucleotides to modify extension and retraction dynamics.
Pathways
Growth cones engage in key mechanisms like the Wnt signaling and PI3K/AKT pathways. These pathways modulate cytoskeleton remodeling and intracellular calcium levels which in turn influence growth cone motility and directionality. Within these pathways growth cones interact with proteins such as β-catenin in Wnt signaling providing cross-talk regulation necessary for synapse formation and neuronal plasticity.
