Expression of GAP43 in rat hippocampus.
Immunohistochemical staining of perfusion-fixed frozen rat brain sections with Guinea Pig Anti-GAP43 Antibody (#ANR-016-GP), (1:300), followed by goat anti-guinea pig - Alexa Fluor-594. A. Staining in the hippocampal dentate gyrus region, showed immunoreactivity (red) in the subgranular layer (arrows), over the granule layer (G) and over the outer molecular layer (OML). B. Pre-incubation of the antibody with GAP43 Blocking Peptide (#BLP-NR016), suppressed staining. Cell nuclei are stained with DAPI (blue).

Scientific background

Growth associated protein 43 (GAP43) is a neuron specific phosphoprotein that plays an important role in the process of nerve growth, development, regeneration and axonal remodeling. GAP43 belongs to the calmodulin-binding protein family and is highly distributed in the presynaptic membrane¹.

GAP43 is expressed in developing neurons, especially in the growth cone. In mature neurons, GAP43 is detected in regenerating nerves. In brain injury, neurons exhibit sprouting of the lateral branches and responsive regeneration of the axon accompanied by increased expression of GAP43. GAP43 expression is used as an important tool for evaluating axon injury and the regenerative response in the mature central nervous system (CNS)^1,2.

Lyophilized Powder

Guinea Pig Anti-GAP43 Antibody (#ANR-016-GP) is a highly specific antibody directed against an epitope of the rat protein. The antibody can be used in western blot and immunohistochemistry applications. It has been designed to recognize GAP43 from mouse, rat and human samples.

The antigen used to immunize guinea pigs is the same as Anti-GAP43 Antibody (#ANR-016) raised in rabbit. Our line of guinea pig antibodies enables more flexibility with our products such as multiplex staining studies, immunoprecipitation and more.

Scientific Background

Specific Control Product

GAP43 Blocking Peptide (#BLP-NR016) is the original antigen used for immunization during Anti-GAP43 Antibody (#ANR-016) generation. The blocking peptide binds and ‘blocks’ Anti-GAP43 primary antibody, this makes it a good negative reagent control to help confirm antibody specificity in western blot and immunohistochemistry applications. This control is also often called a pre-adsorption control.
