Anti-Growth Associated Protein 43 Antibody, phosphoSer 41 AB5401-25UL

eCl@ss:	32160702
NACRES:	NA.41

GAP-43, a common marker of differentiating neurons, is expressed at elevated levels by developing or regenerating neurons during axon growth. While GAP-43 is an integral membrane protein associated with the cytoplasmic surface of axonal growth cones (and synapses), it is absent from dendritic growth cones. In adult brain, GAP-43 is found in high concentration in presynaptic areas where memory formation is thought to occur, such as frontal cortex, limbic system and hippocampus. Phosphorylation of GAP-43 by PKC (at Ser41 on human, mouse, rat, and bovine GAP-43 or Ser42 on chicken and Xenopus GAP-43) is specifically correlated with certain forms of synaptic plasticity.
Specificity
GAP-43 phosphoSer41. The labeling of the GAP-43 protein (~43kDa) in Western blots of rat brain is blocked by the phosphopeptide but not by the dephosphopeptide. In some tissues the antibody may recognize a lower molecular weight band. This band is also detected by a pan GAP-43 antibody.
Epitope: phosphoSer 41
Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids surrounding the phosphoSer41 of rat GAP-43. This is the site phosphorylated by protein kinase C.
This Anti-Growth Associated Protein 43 Antibody, phosphoSer 41 is validated for use in WB for the detection of Growth Associated Protein 43.
Western blot: 1:1,000 (43KDa band).
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
