The TDP-43 Polyclonal Antibody (CAB0538) is a valuable tool for researchers studying TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43), a key player in neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS and frontotemporal dementia. This antibody, produced in rabbits, shows high reactivity with human samples and is validated for use in Western blot applications. By targeting TDP-43, researchers can investigate its role in RNA processing, protein aggregation, and neuronal dysfunction, providing insights into the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders.
TDP-43 is a DNA/RNA-binding protein that regulates gene expression and RNA metabolism in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Abnormal accumulation of TDP-43 in the cytoplasm is a hallmark of ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases, leading to cellular dysfunction and neuronal death. By studying TDP-43 with this antibody, researchers can unravel the mechanisms underlying disease pathology and identify potential therapeutic targets for these devastating conditions.

Background:
HIV-1, the causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), contains an RNA genome that produces a chromosomally integrated DNA during the replicative cycle. Activation of HIV-1 gene expression by the transactivator Tat is dependent on an RNA regulatory element (TAR) located downstream of the transcription initiation site. The protein encoded by this gene is a transcriptional repressor that binds to chromosomally integrated TAR DNA and represses HIV-1 transcription. In addition, this protein regulates alternate splicing of the CFTR gene. A similar pseudogene is present on chromosome 20.
