Mice deficient in the C-terminal domain of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 develop age-dependent motor dysfunction associated with impaired Notch1−Akt signaling pathway

Abstract excerpt

Intracellular mislocalization of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43), a nuclear DNA/RNA-binding protein involved in RNA metabolism, is a pathological hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Although the aggregation-prone, TDP-43 C-terminal domain is widely considered as a key component of TDP-43 pathology in ALS, recent studies including ours suggest that TDP-43 N-terminal fragments (TDP-∆C) may also...
