Background: GAP-43

GAP43 (growth associated protein 43, also called B-50, PP46, calmodulin-binding protein P-57, neuromodulin, neuron growth-associated protein 43, protein F1) is a major component of motile "growth cones" that form the tips of elongating axons as well as the synaptic plasma membranes. GAP43 is associated with nerve growth process and plays a key role in axonal as well as dendritic filopodia induction. It has been detected in a complex containing FGFR4, NCAM1, CDH2, PLCG1, FRS2, SRC, SHC1, GAP43 and CTTN, and binds calmodulin with superior affinity in the absence of Ca2+ than in its presence. Intracellular Ca2+ regulates PKC mediated phosphorylation of GAP43 and affects GAP43's ability to bind calmodulin. GAP43 is integral to growth cone formation, neurite outgrowth, and the development of a functional cerebral cortex. Aberrant expression of GAP43 has been seen in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease.
