Definition: A nervous tissue specific protein which is highly expressed in NEURONS during development and NERVE REGENERATION. It has been implicated in neurite outgrowth, long-term potentiation, SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION, and NEUROTRANSMITTER release. (From Neurotoxicology 1994;15(1):41-7) It is also a substrate of PROTEIN KINASE C.
Other names Phosphoprotein B 50; Nerve Growth Cone Membrane Protein GAP 43; Growth Associated Protein 43; GAP 43 Protein; B 50 Protein; Phosphoprotein pp46; Phosphoprotein F1; Phosphoprotein B-50; GAP43 Protein; Neuromodulin; Nerve Growth Cone Membrane Protein GAP-43; Growth-Associated Protein 43; GAP-43; B-50 Protein
