{"symbol":"GAP43","synonyms":["PP46","B-50"],"name":"growth associated protein 43","description":"The protein encoded by this gene has been termed a \u0027growth\u0027 or \u0027plasticity\u0027 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.
