Rat GAP43  (Growth Associated Protein 43) ELISA Kit   (RTES01189)

GAP43 (Growth Associated Protein 43), also termed neuromodulin or B-50, is a nervous system-specific phosphoprotein involved in axonal growth, neurite extension, and synaptic remodeling. The Assay Genie Rat GAP43 ELISA Kit is used to quantify this neuronal marker in rat specimens, supporting neuroscience research into brain development, traumatic injury, ischemic stroke, peripheral nerve damage, and neurodegenerative disease models.

Validated specifically for rat GAP43 with negligible cross-reactivity to mouse or human orthologs, researchers employ this immunoassay to track GAP43 expression as an indicator of axonal regeneration and plasticity in hippocampal, cortical, and dorsal root ganglion tissue. The microplate-based protocol is compatible with standard laboratory plate readers, and unopened reagents should be stored refrigerated at 4 °C.

Aliquot reconstituted standards to limit freeze-thaw cycles and preserve antibody binding activity. For research use only applications, the kit supports longitudinal monitoring of GAP43 in preclinical rat models of nervous system injury.
