NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the lamin family. Nuclear lamins, intermediate filament-like proteins, are the major components of the nuclear lamina, a protein meshwork associated with the inner nuclear membrane. This meshwork is thought to maintain the integrity of the nuclear envelope, participate in chromatin organization, and regulate gene transcription. Vertebrate lamins consist of two types, A and B. This protein is an A-type and is proposed to be developmentally regulated. In mouse deficiency of this gene is associated with muscular dystrophy. Mouse lines with different mutations in this gene serve as pathophysiological models for several human laminopathies. In humans, mutations in this gene lead to several diseases: Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, familial partial lipodystrophy, limb girdle muscular dystrophy, dilated cardiomyopathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
Uniprot Description
lamin A/C: nuclear lamins are intermediate filament proteins that constitute the lattice-like matrix at the inner face of the nuclear membrane that underlies the nuclear envelop. The lamins, highly conserved throughout evolution, are encoded by three genes in the human: LMNA, LMNB1, and LMNB2. The A-type lamins (lamin A/C) are developmentally regulated and are generally expressed in differentiated cells. The anchoring of chromatin to the nuclear lamina is involved in the control of gene expression and in DNA replication and repair. During mitosis, the nuclear lamina is reversibly disassembled as the lamin proteins are phosphorylated. Cleaved by caspase-6 during apoptosis into a 40-45 kDa and a28 kDa fragment.

Product Notes
The Mouse Lmna lmna (Catalog #AAA2887894) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA2887894 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse Lmna. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Prelamin-A/C, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
