GAP43 (B-50, F1, neuromodulin) is a phosphoprotein found in the presynaptic membranes of neurons, where it may have important roles in the maintenance of long-term potentiation and synaptic plasticity. Regulation of GAP43 activity may occur through PKC phosphorylation of Ser-41, which occurs during neurotransmitter release in mature neurons. Calmodulin may be a negative regulator of GAP43, since it binds to GAP43 when Ca2+ is low and neuronal activity is minimal. GAP43 is a major component of the growth cone in axons of developing neurons. Thus, it may have roles in axon development and synaptogenesis.
