Regulation of TDP-43 expression model. Endogenous or transgenic TDP-43 (TG-TDP43) protein binds to the TDPBR found in the 3′ UTR of TDP-43 transcripts. This TDP-43–RNA interaction promotes, along with other possible events, RNA instability and degradation resulting in lower levels of TDP-43 gene expression.
