The Lamin proteins are members of the intermediate filament protein family but are located inside the nucleus rather than in the cytoplasm. The lamins function as skeletal components tightly associated with the inner nuclear membrane. Originally the proteins of the nuclear cytoskeleton were named Lamin A, B and C, from top to bottom as visualized on SDS-PAGE gels. Subsequently it was found that Lamins A and C were coded for by a single gene, while the Lamin B band may contain two proteins encoded by two genes now called Lamin B1 and Lamin B2. Lamin A has a mass of about 74kDa while Lamin C is 65kDa. The Lamin A protein includes 98 amino acids missing from Lamin C, while Lamin C has a C-terminal 6 amino acid peptide not present in Lamin A. Apart from these regions Lamin A and C are identical so that antibodies raised against either protein are likely to cross react with the other, as is the case with this monoclonal.
Application information:
Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Western Blotting (WB) and Flow Cytometry (~2 ug per 10^6 cells). A dilution of 1:1,000-1:2,000 is recommended for WB. A dilution of 1:500-1:1,000 is recommended for ICC. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user.
