Anti-TDP43

Anti-TDP43 antibody is directed against human TDP43. TDP43 antibodies are affinity purified from monospecifc antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. Under non-denaturing conditions (for example, by IHC), this antibody detects TDP-43 inclusions in human brain tissue with TDP-43 proteinopathy, but does not detect full-length nuclear TDP-43. Under denaturing conditions (for example, by Western Blot analysis) this antibody detects the C-terminus of full-length and truncated human TDP-43. Protein function: DNA and RNA-binding protein which regulates transcription and splicing. Involved in the regulation of CFTR splicing. It promotes CFTR exon 9 skipping by binding to the UG repeated motifs in the polymorphic region near the 3'-splice site of this exon. The resulting aberrant splicing is associated with pathological features typical of cystic fibrosis. May also be involved in microRNA biogenesis, apoptosis and cell division. Can repress HIV-1 transcription by binding to the HIV-1 long terminal repeat. Stabilizes the low molecular weight neurofilament (NFL) mRNA through a direct interaction with the 3' UTR.
