Applications
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab12274 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
| Application | Abreviews | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| IHC-P | 1/2000. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol. | |
| WB | 1/500 - 1/2000. Detects a band of approximately 43-57 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 24 kDa). | |
| ICC | 1/100 - 1/400. | |
| IP | Use at an assay dependent concentration. | |
| ICC/IF | Use at an assay dependent concentration. | |
| IHC-Fr | 1/100 - 1/400. |
Target
-
FunctionThis protein is associated with nerve growth. It is a major component of the motile "growth cones" that form the tips of elongating axons.
-
Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the neuromodulin family.
Contains 1 IQ domain. -
Post-translational
modificationsPhosphorylation of this protein by a protein kinase C is specifically correlated with certain forms of synaptic plasticity. -
Cellular localizationCell membrane. Cell projection > growth cone membrane. Cell junction > synapse. Cytoplasmic surface of growth cone and synaptic plasma membranes.

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. -
Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-GAP43 antibody - Neuronal Marker (ab12274)ICC/IF image of ab12274 stained SKNSH cells. The cells were 100% methanol fixed (5 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab12274, 1/200 dilution) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was ab96899, DyLight® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/250 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM

Western blot - Anti-GAP43 antibody - Neuronal Marker (ab12274)This image is courtesy of an anonymous AbreviewWestern blot showing detection of GAP43 in Mouse Whole brain tissue lysates using ab12274 (1/5000) in conjunction with a goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody conjugated to HRP (1/10000). Ab12274 did not detect GAP43 in Sciatic nerve lysates (negative control).
