GAP43, Neuromodulin, Axonal membrane protein GAP-43, Growth-associated protein 43, Neural phosphoprotein B-50, pp46
The protein encoded by this gene has been termed a growth or plasticity protein because it is expressed at high levels in neuronal growth cones during development and axonal regeneration. This protein is considered a crucial component of an effective regenerative response in the nervous system. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
