DESCRIPTION: GAP-43 is axonal membrane phosphoprotein considered to be a plasticity or growth protein because it is highly expressed in neuronal growth cones during development an axonal elongation during regeneration. It is involved in long-term potentiation and plays a role in synapse formation. Expression of GAP-43 is limited to the nervous system.
