TDP-43 (TAR DNA binding protein, TARDP) is a 414 amino acid nuclear protein and is a member of the heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) family that bind single stranded RNA. It is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 1p36.22. The encoded protein belongs to the family of heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) that bind single stranded RNA. TDP-43 is ubiquitously expressed and is characterized with two RNA-recognition motifs and a glycine-rich C-terminal region.
Synonyms: Anti-ALS10; Anti-TARDBP; Anti-TARDP43
Storage: -20C
Biochem Physiol Actions: Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) play a vital role in generation and processing of RNA, including transcription, splicing, transport and stability. TDP-43 acts as a transcription regulator for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Abnormal phosphorylation of TDP-43 at Ser409/410 contributes to the pathology of frontotemporal lobe degeneration subtype (FTLD-U) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
