TMPO Polyclonal Antibody, Cy7 Conjugated

The nuclear envelope separates the nucleoplasm from the cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells and includes the outer and inner nuclear membrane, nuclear pore complexes and the nuclear lamina. The nuclear lamina contains intermediate filament-type proteins called lamins that form a dense network to strengthen and stabilize the nuclear envelope. Lamina-associated polypeptide 2 (LAP2) is also known as thymopoietin. LAP2 is a nuclear envelope protein and contains an amino-terminal region called the LAP2-emerin-MAN1 or LEM motif. LAP2 also contains a unique DNA-binding amino-terminal domain. Alternative splicing produces six isoforms (, _, _, and) of mammalian LAP2 and three isoforms in Xenopus LAP2. LAP2 and LAP2_ associate with chromosomal barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF) and may play a role in stabilizing chromatin structure. LAP2_ also binds to lamin B. LAP2 is a non-membrane isoform of LAP2 that associates with the internal nucleoskeleton and binds lamin A. The gene encoding human LAP2 maps to chromosome 12q23.1.
