Abstract:The transactive response DNA-binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43) is normally located predominantly in the nucleus, whereas pathological TDP-43 is mostly found in the cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic TDP-43 accumulation has not yet been reported in normal general organs. In our preliminary study, paraffin sections of the general organs of individuals with or without amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) were immunostained with antibodies against TDP-43 and phosphorylated TDP-43 (pTDP-43). Diffuse and granular immunostaining… Show more
“…35 Additionally, TDP-43 aggregates may not inherently be pathologic, having been located in adrenal medulla samples of individuals with and without ALS. 36 Studies have begun elucidating the possibility that there are potential variations in TDP-43 conformations that can act as strains in pathogenesis with varying impact on cellular toxicity and disease pathogenicity.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
