LEMD2 (LEM domain containing 2) is a transmembrane protein belonging to a group of inner nuclear membrane (INM) protein. The ~56kDa protein is composed of an N-terminal LEM (LAP2, emerin, MAN1) motif, two predicted transmembrane domains and a MAN1-Src1p C-terminal (MSC) domain.
Synonyms: Anti-LEM domain-containing protein 2; Anti-hLEM2
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: LEMD2 (LEM domain containing 2) plays an important role in stabilizing nuclear envelope morphology. Cell type specific LEMD2 has ability to interact with chromatin and/or the nuclear lamina to maintain the integrity of the nuclear envelope. Mutation in LEMD2 causes muscular dystrophy.
