TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TARDBP) is a multifunctional RNA- and DNA-binding protein encoded by the TARDBP gene and involved in RNA splicing, transcriptional regulation, mRNA transport, and stress granule biology. TARDBP Antibody / RNA Binding Protein Marker is useful for studying RNA metabolism, neurodegenerative disease, stress-responsive signaling, and RNA-processing pathways. TARDBP is more commonly known as TDP-43 and belongs to the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein family of RNA-binding proteins that regulate post-transcriptional gene expression.
TARDBP antibody, also referred to as TDP-43 antibody or TAR DNA-binding protein 43 antibody in the literature, recognizes a predominantly nuclear protein that binds UG-rich RNA sequences and participates in regulation of alternative splicing, mRNA stability, microRNA biogenesis, and RNA transport. TDP-43 normally localizes primarily within the nucleus but may redistribute to the cytoplasm during cellular stress or disease-associated protein aggregation. Because TDP-43 pathology is strongly linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), and additional neurodegenerative disorders, TARDBP remains a major target in neuroscience and neurodegeneration research.
TDP-43 contributes to multiple RNA-processing pathways required for neuronal maintenance, synaptic function, and stress adaptation. The protein has been implicated in regulation of stress granule assembly, protein quality-control pathways, and RNA metabolism in neurons and glial cells. Disease-associated TARDBP abnormalities may include cytoplasmic accumulation, nuclear depletion, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and proteolytic cleavage into lower molecular weight fragments that accumulate in neurodegenerative lesions. In western blot studies, TARDBP is commonly detected near 43-45 kDa, although additional lower molecular weight species may occur in neural-derived tissues or disease-associated samples.
TARDBP is broadly expressed across many tissue types with particularly important roles in the nervous system, where the protein contributes to neuronal survival and RNA homeostasis. The protein has additionally been linked to cancer biology, inflammatory signaling, viral responses, and cellular stress pathways. TDP-43 localizes predominantly within the nucleus under physiologic conditions, and immunohistochemistry studies commonly demonstrate nuclear staining patterns in epithelial, neuronal, and glial cell populations.
TARDBP is encoded on human chromosome 1p36 and produces a highly conserved RNA-binding protein containing two RNA recognition motifs and a glycine-rich C-terminal domain involved in protein-protein interactions and aggregation-associated biology. The C-terminal region is especially important in neurodegenerative disease research because many ALS-associated mutations occur within this domain and influence protein aggregation behavior and cellular toxicity.
This recombinant mouse monoclonal TARDBP antibody clone ABAB-20 has been supported using western blot, knockdown validation, and immunohistochemistry approaches to confirm selective endogenous TDP-43 detection in research applications. Western blot analysis demonstrates a prominent approximately 43-45 kDa band across multiple human, mouse, and rat samples, while knockdown experiments show reduced signal intensity following TARDBP suppression in HeLa cells. Immunohistochemistry studies further support characteristic nuclear-associated TDP-43 staining patterns consistent with the known biology of this RNA-binding protein.
Researchers studying nuclear-localized regulatory proteins and transcription-associated signaling pathways may also benefit from the Nuclear Marker Antibodies page featuring antibodies against nuclear proteins involved in RNA processing, chromatin regulation, and gene expression control.
Optimal dilution of the TARDBP Antibody / RNA Binding Protein Marker should be determined by the researcher.
A peptide sequence specific to TAR DNA binding protein 43 was used as the immunogen for the TARDBP antibody.
After reconstitution, the TARDBP Antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
