Clone: 131C3
Label: FITC
Background: Nuclear lamins form a network of intermediate-type filaments at the nucleoplasmic site of the nuclear membrane. Two main subtypes of nuclear lamins can be distinguished, i.e. A-type lamins and B-type lamins. The A-type lamins comprise a set of three proteins arising from the same gene by alternative splicing, i.e. lamin A, lamin C and lamin Adel 10, while the B-type lamins include two proteins arising from two distinct genes, i.e. lamin B1 and lamin B2. Recent evidence has revealed that mutations in A-type lamins give rise to a range of rare but dominant genetic disorders, including Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, dilated cardiomyopathy with conduction-system disease and Dunnigan-type familial partial lipodystrophy. In addition, the expression of A-type lamins coincides with cell differentiation and as A-type lamins specifically interact with chromatin, a role in the regulation of differential gene expression has been suggested for A-type lamins.
Source: 131C3 is a mouse monoclonal IgG1/k antibody derived by fusion of P3/X63.Ag8.653 mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a BALB/c mouse immunized with purified rat liver lamins.
Specificity: 131C3 reacts with an epitope located between residues 319-566 in lamin A and C.
Formulation: Each vial contains 1ml FITC-conjugated anti lamin A and C monoclonal antibody in PBS containing 0.1% BSA, 0.09% sodium azide. Approximately 100 tests.
