Growth associated protein 43 encoded by GAP43 has been termed a 'growth' or 'plasticity' protein because it is expressed at high levels in neuronal growth cones during development and axonal regeneration. Growth associated protein 43 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 GAP43. 蛋白别名为：GAP43; Neuromodulin; Axonal membrane protein GAP-43; Growth-associated protein 43; Neural phosphoprotein B-50; pp46;基因ID为：2596；蛋白质ID:P17677
