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.
Applications Reported: This 4A7 antibody has been reported for use in immunohistochemical staining of frozen tissue sections, microscopy, and immunocytochemistry.
Applications Tested: This 4A7 antibody has been tested by immunocytochemistry of MeOH-fixed human cells and can be used at less than or equal to 5 µg/mL. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
Excitation: 488 nm; Emission: 519 nm; Laser: Blue Laser.
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 many different cell types in three different forms (A, B, and C). Lamins A and C are alternatively spliced versions of the LMNA gene. The LMNA gene has been linked to many disorders of the muscular system, nervous system, and the fat distributions systems including: Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, Dunnigan-type familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD), limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD1B), dilated cardiomyopathy (CMD1A), axonal neuropathy (Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease; CMT2B1), and mandibuloacral dysplasia (MAD).
