Growth Associated Protein 43 (GAP43) (pSer41) antibody

Antigen: Growth Associated Protein 43 (GAP43)

Synonyms: B-50, PP46, Basp2, GAP-43, gap-43, MGC64520

Binding Site: pSer41

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Sheep

Reactivity: Please enquire

Conjugate: Un-conjugated

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

Catalog no.: ABIN350112

Additional Information

Alternative name: Axonal membrane protein GAP-43 (Neuromodulin, growth-associated protein 43)

UniProt: P17677

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide to phospho S41 of human Axonal membrane protein GAP-43 (Neuromodulin, growth-associated protein 43) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen. The antigen is homologous in rat, mouse, zebra fish and chicken.

Format: Lyophilized

Isotype: IgG

Description: FUNCTION: This protein is associated with nerve growth. It is a major component of the motile "growth cones" that form the tips of elongating axons. SUBUNIT: Binds calmodulin with a greater affinity in the absence of Ca(2+) than in its presence. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cell projection, growth cone membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cell junction, synapse. Note: Cytoplasmic surface of growth cone and synaptic plasma membranes. Also known as: Neuromodulin, growth-associated protein 43, protein F1, Basp2, B-50.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for GAP-43.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC. A concentration of 10-50 µg/ml is recommended. The optimal concentration should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications. This antibody may also recognise the unphosphorylated form.

Purity: IgG

Storage: Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
