ANTI-GAP-43

Monoclonal Anti-Growth Associated Protein-43 antibody produced in mouse has been used in enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Monoclonal Anti-Growth Associated Protein-43 (mouse IgG2a isotype) is derived from the GAP-7B10 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with HPLC-purified GAP-43 from neonatal rat forebrain membranes. Growth Associated Protein 43 (GAP-43) has a very acidic pI (4.3-4.6, depending on the species) and an anomalous behavior in SDS gels such that its reported molecular mass ranges from 43-57 kDa whereas, the primary sequence of the protein and its hydrodynamic behavior indicate a molecular mass of about 24 kDa.

GAP43 (growth associated protein 43) gene encodes a protein called ′Neuromodulin′ that is associated with neuronal growth. It is abundantly expressed in neuronal growth cones during development and regeneration of axons. It regulates dendritic branching and filopodia formation.
