AHP669 recognises the protein designated GAP43, a neuronal protein that is expressed at elevated levels during development and also during regenerative axon growth.
GAP43 (also known as neuromodulin, pp46, B-50, Protein F1 and calmodulin-binding protein P-57) is a protein of approximately 25kD that migrates on SDS-PAGE gels with an apparent size of 40-50kD. The aberrant migration is due to the unusually low abundance of hydrophobic amino acid residues. GAP43 is found tightly associated with neuronal membranes due to palmitoylation. The solubilised protein binds calmodulin, although this is reduced following protein kinase C phosphorylation of GAP43.

Where this antibody has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. It is recommended that the user titrates the antibody for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
This product should be stored undiluted.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antisera to GAP43 were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen.
