Lamin B1 antibody human specific - HS-404 017

Lamin B1 (LMNB1) is an intermediate filament-type protein of the nuclear lamina and is ubiquitously expressed throughout development. It plays important roles in many cellular processes like the distribution of heterochromatin and the regulation of gene expression and splicing. The maintenance of LMNB1 protein levels is required for DNA replication and repair and thus mutations in B-type lamins are usually lethal.
Duplication of the LMNB1 gene causes adult-onset autosomal-dominant leukodystrophy (ADLD), a rare neurological disorder in which overexpression of LMNB1 causes progressive central nervous system demyelination. Improper Lamin B1 expression is often present in tumor cells and decreased levels are observed for example in colon cancer, breast cancer and B-cell malignancies. Lamin B1 loss is also a senescence-associated biomarker and distinguishes senescent from proliferating cells in pre-neoplastic lesions or marks senescent cells in various age-related pathologies.
