Anti-Lamin C antibody - Nuclear Envelope Marker

Target data

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 involved 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).
