GAP43; GAP43; B-50; PP46
uniprot entry name :
NEUM_HUMAN
specificity :
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of GAP43. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between GAP43 and analogues was observed. NOTE: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible for us to complete the cross-reactivity detection between GAP43 and all the analogues, therefore, cross reaction may still exist in some cases.
storage stability :
Store all reagents at 2-8 degree C.

products description :
Intended Uses: This GAP43 ELISA kit is a 1.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed for the quantitative determination of Porcine GAP43. This ELISA kit for research use only, not for therapeutic or diagnostic applications!. Principle of the Assay: GAP43 ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a monoclonal anti-GAP43 antibody and an GAP43-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with GAP43-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the GAP43 concentration since GAP43 from samples and GAP43-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-GAP43 antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by GAP43 from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind GAP43-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The GAP43 concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.

ncbi summary :
The protein 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
GAP43: This protein is associated with nerve growth. It is a major component of the motile growth cones that form the tips of elongating axons. Plays a role in axonal and dendritic filopodia induction. Identified in a complex containing FGFR4, NCAM1, CDH2, PLCG1, FRS2, SRC, SHC1, GAP43 and CTTN. Binds calmodulin with a greater affinity in the absence of Ca(2+) than in its presence. Belongs to the neuromodulin family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Cell surface. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 3q13.31. Cellular Component: filopodium membrane; axon; cytoplasm; postsynaptic density; plasma membrane; cell junction. Molecular Function: calmodulin binding; protein binding. Biological Process: glial cell differentiation; cell fate commitment; tissue regeneration; regulation of growth; axon choice point recognition; protein kinase C activation; response to wounding; regulation of filopodium formation
