Anti-GAP43, monoclonal

Growth Associated Protein 43 also known as GAP43 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GAP43 gene. GAP43, is a nervous tissue-specific cytoplasmic protein that can be attached to the membrane via a dual palmitoylation sequence on cysteines 3 and 4. This sequence targets GAP43 to lipid rafts. Protein 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. Plays a role in axonal and dendritic filopodia induction [The Uniprot Consortium]
