Prelamin-A/C (LMNA)

Lamins are components of the nuclear lamina, a fibrous layer on the nucleoplasmic side of the inner nuclear membrane, which is thought to present a framework for the nuclear envelope and may also interact with chromatin. Lamin A and C are present in equivalent amounts in the lamina of mammals.

Plays an important role in nuclear assembly, chromatin organization, nuclear membrane and telomere dynamics. Required for normal maturation of peripheral nervous system and skeletal muscle and also for muscle satellite cell proliferation (PubMed:10080180, PubMed:22431096, PubMed:10814726, PubMed:11799477, PubMed:18551513).
