Lamin-A/C. Lamins are intermediate filament proteins that assemble into a filamentous meshwork, and which constitute the major components of the nuclear lamina, a fibrous layer on the nucleoplasmic side of the inner nuclear membrane (PubMed:10080180, PubMed:10580070, PubMed:10587585, PubMed:10814726, PubMed:11799477, PubMed:12075506, PubMed:12927431, PubMed:15317753, PubMed:18551513, PubMed:18611980, PubMed:2188730, PubMed:22431096, PubMed:2344612, PubMed:23666920, PubMed:24741066, PubMed:31434876, PubMed:31548606, PubMed:37788673, PubMed:37832547). Lamins provide a framework for the nuclear envelope, bridging the nuclear envelope and chromatin, thereby playing an important role in nuclear assembly, chromatin organization, nuclear membrane and telomere dynamics (PubMed:10080180, PubMed:10580070, PubMed:10587585, PubMed:10814726, PubMed:11799477, PubMed:12075506, PubMed:12927431, PubMed:15317753, PubMed:18551513, PubMed:18611980, PubMed:22431096, PubMed:23666920, PubMed:24741066, PubMed:31548606, PubMed:37788673, PubMed:37832547). Lamin A and C also regulate matrix stiffness by conferring nuclear mechanical properties (PubMed:23990565, PubMed:25127216). The structural integrity of the lamina is strictly controlled by the cell cycle, as seen by the disintegration and formation of the nuclear envelope in prophase and telophase, respectively (PubMed:2188730, PubMed:2344612). Lamin A and C are present in equal amounts in the lamina of mammals (PubMed:10080180, PubMed:10580070, PubMed:10587585, PubMed:10814726, PubMed:11799477, PubMed:12075506, PubMed:12927431, PubMed:15317753, PubMed:18551513, PubMed:18611980, PubMed:22431096, PubMed:23666920, PubMed:31548606). Also invoved in DNA repair: recruited by DNA repair proteins XRCC4 and IFFO1 to the DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) to prevent chromosome translocation by immobilizing broken DNA ends (PubMed:31548606). Required for normal development of peripheral nervous system and skeletal muscle and for muscle satellite cell proliferation (PubMed:10080180, PubMed:10814726, PubMed:11799477, PubMed:18551513, PubMed:22431096). Required for osteoblastogenesis and bone formation (PubMed:12075506, PubMed:15317753, PubMed:18611980). Also prevents fat infiltration of muscle and bone marrow, helping to maintain the volume and strength of skeletal muscle and bone (PubMed:10587585). Required for cardiac homeostasis (PubMed:10580070, PubMed:12927431, PubMed:18611980, PubMed:23666920). Prelamin-A/C. Prelamin-A/C can accelerate smooth muscle cell senescence (PubMed:20458013). It acts to disrupt mitosis and induce DNA damage in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), leading to mitotic failure, genomic instability, and premature senescence (PubMed:20458013).

Reacts against lamin A exclusively (the antibody was raised against the carboxy-terminus of 98 amino acids present in lamin A and absent from lamin C. As a result, this antibody recognizes lamin A but not lamin C; See Machiels et al 1997). Lamins do not appear to be universally distributed among different cell and tissue types. ab8980 has been tested in testis parenchyma and testicular germ cell tumours (See Machiels et al 1997). Other cell/tissue types have not been tested.
Lamin A also known as LMNA is a type of lamin protein integral to the nuclear architecture. It has a molecular weight of approximately 70 kDa. This protein localizes mainly to the nuclear lamina a dense fibrillar network inside the inner nuclear membrane found across various cell types. Lamin A serves as a structural scaffold mediating nuclear stability and rigidity. It also plays a role in chromatin organization supporting overall nuclear functions.
The lamin molecule interacts with several nuclear components forming part of the nuclear lamina complex. It anchors chromatin material and regulates DNA replication and repair. Lamin A protein also modulates gene expression through interactions with transcription factors. Beyond structural support it influences cell cycle progression and differentiation impacting cellular mechanotransduction and signaling processes.
Lamin A performs critical functions within the cell cycle and apoptotic pathways. Its interactions with the retinoblastoma protein (pRB) and other cyclin-dependent kinases control cell cycle checkpoints and progression. Moreover lamin A connects with proteins involved in signaling pathways like MAPK which relate to stress responses and cellular growth. These interactions highlight its dynamic involvement in maintaining cell health and proliferation.
Mutations in the lamin A gene associate closely with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome and Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy. In these conditions altered lamin A protein affects nuclear shape and chromatin layout disrupting transcriptional regulation. The mutated lamin A protein interacts differently with binding partners like emerin contributing to muscle adipose tissue and multi-system abnormalities. This highlights the critical role lamin A plays in maintaining normal cellular function across life stages.

ab8980 was shown to recognize in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost at the expected MW in LMNA knockout cells. Additional cross-reactive bands were observed in the wild-type and knockout cells. Wild-type and LMNA knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. The membrane was blocked with 3pc Milk. ab8980 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] - Loading Control ab181602 (Rabbit anti GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/100 dilution and 1/20000 dilution respectively.
