LMNA Antibody (Center) Blocking Peptide

The nuclear lamina consists of a two-dimensional matrix ofproteins located next to the inner nuclear membrane. The laminfamily of proteins make up the matrix and are highly conserved inevolution. During mitosis, the lamina matrix is reversiblydisassembled as the lamin proteins are phosphorylated. Laminproteins are thought to be involved in nuclear stability, chromatinstructure and gene expression. Vertebrate lamins consist of twotypes, A and B. Through alternate splicing, this gene encodes threetype A lamin isoforms. Mutations in this gene lead to severaldiseases: Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, familial partiallipodystrophy, limb girdle muscular dystrophy, dilatedcardiomyopathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, and Hutchinson-Gilfordprogeria syndrome.
