Growth associated protein-43 (GAP-43) is a phosphoprotein associated with membrane. It is located on chromosome 3q13. During neural development and axonal regeneration, GAP43 is upregulated in neuronal growth cones and Schwann cell precursors.
免疫原
Peptide sequence around aa. 38-43 (Q-A-S-F-R), according to the protein GAP43.
生物化学的/生理学的作用
Growth associated protein-43 (GAP-43) participates in neurite outgrowth, growth cone navigation, neurotransmission, stabilization of axonal branches and synaptic plasticity. In humans and mice, GAP43 is recognized as a possible gene for autism and autistic-like disorders.

ターゲットの説明
GAP43 encoded by this gene has been termed a 'growth' or 'plasticity' protein because it is expressed at high levels in neuronal growth cones during development and axonal regeneration. This protein is considered a crucial component of an effective regenerative response in the nervous system. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.

Nerve conduits are promising alternatives for repairing nerve gaps; they provide a close microenvironment that supports nerve regeneration. In this sense, histological analysis of axonal growth is a determinant to achieve successful nerve regeneration. To evaluate this process, the most-used

The regenerative capability of peripheral nerves is very limited, and several strategies have been proposed to increase nerve regeneration. In the present work, we have analyzed the in vivo usefulness of a novel nanostructured fibrin-agarose bio-artificial nerve substitute (Nano) used

Growth-associated protein 43 plays a key role in neurite outgrowth through cytoskeleton remodeling. We have previously demonstrated that structural damage of peripheral nerves induces growth-associated protein 43 upregulation to promote growth cone formation. Conversely, the limited regenerative capacity of the
