Western blot analysis of Gap-43, palladin, NCAM in adult rat MBA. Immunoblots from the rat MBA protein lysate also confirmed the presence of Gap-43 palladin and NCAM. Palladin expresses as two isoforms of 90–92 and 140 kD proteins. Gap-43 antibody detected a ~48 kDa protein, whereas anti-NCAM detected 120 and 140 kD proteins. (Representative of 3 experiments.)
