Involvement in disease
Defects in LBR are a cause of Pelger-Huet anomaly (PHA) [MIM:169400]. PHA is an autosomal dominant inherited abnormality of neutrophils, characterized by reduced nuclear segmentation and an apparently looser chromatin structure. Heterozygotes show hypolobulated neutrophil nuclei with coarse chromatin. Presumed homozygous individuals have ovoid neutrophil nuclei, as well as varying degrees of developmental delay, epilepsy, and skeletal abnormalities.
Defects in LBR are the cause of hydrops-ectopic calcification-moth-eaten skeletal dysplasia (HEM) [MIM:215140]; also known as Greenberg skeletal dysplasia. HEM is a rare autosomal recessive chondrodystrophy characterized by early in utero lethality and, therefore, considered to be nonviable. Affected fetuses typically present with fetal hydrops, short-limbed dwarfism, and a marked disorganization of chondro-osseous calcification and may present with polydactyly and additional nonskeletal malformations.
Defects in LBR may be a cause of Reynolds syndrome (REYNS) [MIM:613471]. It is a syndrome specifically associating limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis and primary biliray cirrhosis. It is characterized by liver disease, telangiectasia, abrupt onset of digital paleness or cyanosis in response to cold exposure or stress (Raynaud phenomenon), and variable features of scleroderma. The liver disease is characterized by pruritis, jaundice, hepatomegaly, increased serum alkaline phosphatase and positive serum mitochondrial autoantibodies, all consistent with primary biliary cirrhosis. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the ERG4/ERG24 family. -
Post-translational
modificationsPhosphorylated by CDK1 protein kinase in mitosis when the inner nuclear membrane breaks down into vesicles that dissociate from the lamina and the chromatin. It is phosphorylated by different protein kinases in interphase when the membrane is associated with these structures. Phosphorylation of LBR and HP1 proteins may be responsible for some of the alterations in chromatin organization and nuclear structure which occur at various times during the cell cycle. -

Predicted band size: 71 kDa
Observed band size: 58 kDa why is the actual band size different from the predicted?Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab232731 observed at 58 kDa. Red - loading control, ab181602 (Rabbit Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891]) observed at 37kDa.
ab232731 was shown to react with Lamin B Receptor (LBR) in wild-type HEK-293 and MEF-1 cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when LBR knockout samples were used. Wild-type and LBR knockout (ab257503) HEK-293 cell lysates and wild-type and LBR knockout MEF-1 cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in 3% milk before incubation with ab232731 and ab181602 (Rabbit Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891]) overnight at 4°C at 1 µg/ml and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were incubated with Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216772) and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216777) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.
LBR knockout MEF-1 samples were kindly provided by the Brian Burke laboratory, A-Star Institute, Singapore.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Lamin B Receptor/LBR antibody [BBmLBR 12.F8] (ab232731)
IHC image of Lamin B receptor staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human duodenum* performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard Protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab232731, 0.05µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10min), permeabilized with 0.1%PBS-Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1%PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab232731 at 10µg/ml and ab6046, Rabbit polyclonal to beta Tubulin - Loading Control, at 1/1000 dilution. Cells were then incubated with ab150117, Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150080, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolor red).

Predicted band size: 71 kDa
Observed band size: 65 kDa why is the actual band size different from the predicted?This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 55 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was blocked for an hour using 3% milk before ab232731 and ab181602 (Rabbit anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at a 1ug/ml concentration and 1/20000 dilution respectively.
