General description

Nuclear lamins form a network of filaments at the nucleoplasmic site of the nuclear membrane. Two main subtypes of nuclear lamins can be distinguished: 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.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide from the C-terminus of human lamin A. This sequence is not present in the the lamin C isoform.

Epitope: C-terminus, a.a. 598-611

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

Physical form

Liquid in buffer containing 0.1% sodium azide.

Format: Purified

Specificity

Monoclonal 133A2 reacts against human lamin A but not lamin C. The epitope lies with the 98 amino acids of the C terminus that is unique to lamin A. Specifically deletion analysis has shown that amino acids 598-611 were essential for reactivity {Hozak, P et.al. (1995), J. Cell Sci 635-644}.

Storage and Stability

Maintain -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
