Product Description

The monoclonal antibody 4A7 recognizes human, mouse, rabbit and hamster lamin A/C. Lamins are nuclear intermediate filament proteins that provide framework for the nuclear envelope, maintain cell morphology, and protect the nucleus from mechanical, thermal, and oxidative stresses. Lamins also play a role in nuclear assembly, chromatin organization, DNA replication, RNA transcription, cell signaling, and apoptosis. Lamin C is a splice variant of Lamin A and both are A-type lamins. Lamin A and C are crucial for skeletal and cardiac development and function. Defects in A-type lamins result in cardiomyopathy, muscular dystrophy, peripheral neuropathy, lipodystrophy, restrictive dermopathy, and progeroid disorders. This 4A7 antibody has been tested by immunocytochemistry of methanol-fixed and permeabilized cells and can be used at less than or equal to 10 µg/mL. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. Purity: Greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE. Aggregation: Less than 10%, as determined by HPLC. Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered. Lamins are a class of intermediate filament proteins that form a matrix on the inner surface of the nuclear envelope. These proteins are found in m
