synthetic phosphopeptide derived from the region of rat GAP-43 phosphorylated on serine 41.
Application
Anti-phospho-Growth Associated Protein-43 (pSer41) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for immunoblotting at a working dilution of 1:1000.
Biochem/physiol Actions
GAP-43 is an intracellular phosphoprotein that is present exclusively in the peripheral and central nervous systems. Protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylates GAP-43 on a single site, serine 41. This phosphorylated protein is found in the areas where growth cones make productive and stable contacts with other cells. It facilitates stabilization of long actin filaments. Phosphorylation by PKC at serine 41 is related to nerve-terminal sprouting and long-term potentiation as high levels of GAP-43 are present in neocortical areas and in the limbic system. It is crucial in mediating experience dependent plasticity.
Physical form
Solution in 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, containing 150 mM NaCl, 100 μg/mL BSA, and 50% glycerol.
Analysis Note
An additional band at 150-160 kDa may be detected and reflects the oligomeric nature of GAP-43.

In spinal cord explant cultures from embryonic chicken (E7) we found that both a long-time downregulation of PKC by phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) and an inhibition of PKC by RO-31-8220 strongly reduce neurite outgrowth. Unlike this, in the presence of a high

Synthesis of GAP-43 (also known as neuromodulin) in neurons is induced during axon growth, and high concentrations (estimated between 50 and 100 microM) accumulate in the growth cone. GAP-43 is tightly associated with the growth cone membrane skeleton, the structure

Several lines of investigation have helped clarify the role of GAP-43 (FI, B-50 or neuromodulin) in regulating the growth state of axon terminals. In transgenic mice, overexpression of GAP-43 leads to the spontaneous formation of new synapses and enhanced sprouting
