Brief Description   (IN) Involved in NT3-induced neurite outgrowth
Specific Description   Collapsin-response mediator proteins (CRMPs) are highly expressed in the developing brain where they play major roles in axonal outgrowth, neurite differentiation, and apoptosis (1). Their continued expression in areas of high synaptic remodeling such as the cerebellum, hippocampus, and the olfactory system suggests that these proteins may also be involved in adult brain plasticity (2). CRMP-1 was initially identified as a dihydro-pyrimidinase expressed exclusively in brain (3); later studies have shown that it is involved with neurotrophin (NT) 3-induced neurite formation and outgrowth (4). CRMP-1 localization switches from axonal to somatodendritic when neurons reach functional maturity, suggesting that it is involved in early neuronal differentiation as well as in later processes related to the survival or death of the newly generated neurons (5).
Storage   CRMP1 antibody can be stored at 4°C, stable for one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
