Background of GAP43
Growth Associated Protein-43 (GAP-43), also known as nerve growth-related growth peptide GAP43, shares a high degree of homology between the sequence of the human gene and the rat gene. GAP-43 is considered a crucial component of an effective regenerative response in the nervous system. Somatic cell hybrids demonstrate localization of the GAP-43 gene to human chromosome 3 and to mouse chromosome 16. GAP-43 has been termed a "growth" or "plasticity" protein because it is expressed at high levels in neuronal growth cones during development and during axonal regeneration. GAP-43 regulates growth of axons and modulates the formation of new connections.
Antibody Validation

Question
I have a question about product PA1037, anti-GAP43 antibody. I was wondering if it would be possible to conjugate this antibody with biotin. I would need it to be without BSA or sodium azide. I am planning on using a buffer exchange of sodium azide with PBS only. Would there be problems for me to conjugate the antibody and store it in -20 degrees in small aliquots?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-03-16
Answer
It is not recommended storing this antibody with PBS buffer only in -20 degrees. If you want to store it in -20 degrees it is best to add some cryoprotectant like glycerol. If you want carrier free PA1037 anti-GAP43 antibody, we can provide it to you in a special formula with trehalose and/or glycerol. These molecules will not interfere with conjugation chemistry and provide a good level of protection for the antibody from degradation. Please be sure to specify this in your purchase order.

Question
My colleagues were well pleased with the WB result of your anti-GAP43 antibody. However we have observed positive staining in brain cortex subthalamic nucleus cell membrane using this antibody. Is that expected? Could you tell me where is GAP43 supposed to be expressed?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-01-27
Answer
According to literature, brain cortex subthalamic nucleus does express GAP43. Generally GAP43 expresses in cell membrane. Regarding which tissues have GAP43 expression, here are a few articles citing expression in various tissues:
Brain, Pubmed ID: 15489334

Question
We ordered your anti-GAP43 antibody for IHC on anterior cingulate cortex in the past. I am using rat, and We want to use the antibody for WB next. I am interested in examining anterior cingulate cortex as well as brain in our next experiment. Could you please give me some suggestion on which antibody would work the best for WB?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-12-11
Answer
I took a look at the website and datasheets of our anti-GAP43 antibody and it appears that PA1037 has been tested on rat in both IHC and WB. Thus PA1037 should work for your application. Our Boster satisfaction guarantee will cover this product for WB in rat even if the specific tissue type has not been validated. We do have a comprehensive range of products for WB detection and you can check out our website bosterbio.com to find out more information about them.

Question
Would PA1037 anti-GAP43 antibody work on parafin embedded sections? If so, which fixation method do you recommend we use (PFA, paraformaldehyde, other)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-06-07
Answer
You can see on the product datasheet, PA1037 anti-GAP43 antibody as been tested on WB. It is best to use PFA for fixation because it has better tissue penetration ability. PFA needs to be prepared fresh before use. Long term stored PFA turns into formalin, as the PFA molecules congregate and become formalin.
