GAP43 Protein, Human (HEK293, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

The GAP43 protein plays a central role in nerve growth and is found primarily in the active "growth cones" at the tips of axons. It induces axonal and dendritic filopodia, which are critical for neurodevelopmental dynamics. GAP43 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived GAP43 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Description

The GAP43 protein plays a central role in nerve growth and is found primarily in the active "growth cones" at the tips of axons. It induces axonal and dendritic filopodia, which are critical for neurodevelopmental dynamics. GAP43 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived GAP43 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Background

GAP43 protein is intricately associated with nerve growth, emerging as a major component within the motile 'growth cones' that form at the tips of elongating axons. Its pivotal role extends to the induction of axonal and dendritic filopodia, contributing to the dynamic processes crucial for nerve development. Within a molecular context, GAP43 is identified in a complex containing FGFR4, NCAM1, CDH2, PLCG1, FRS2, SRC, SHC1, and CTTN, suggesting its participation in diverse signaling pathways. Additionally, GAP43 exhibits interactions with calmodulin, mediated by its IQ domain, binding calmodulin with greater affinity in the absence of Ca(2+) than in its presence. These intricate molecular associations underscore the multifaceted involvement of GAP43 in nerve growth and signaling cascades, shedding light on its significance in orchestrating axonal dynamics and filopodia formation.
