Anti-Progerin antibody, Mouse monoclonal

Monoclonal Anti-Progerin (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma 13A4 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synthetic peptide. A-type lamins, lamin A and lamin C are products of a single gene, LMNA, which are produced by alternative splicing. Prelamin A, the precursor of Lamin A, is farnesylated at its carboxy terminus after synthesis and the last 18 amino acids, which contain the farnesyl group, are removed by the metalloprotease Zmpste24, producing the mature Lamin A. The LMNA gene codes for A-type lamin, lamin A/C.

Monoclonal Anti-Progerin antibody produced in mouse has been used in:

• immunoblotting
• immunoprecipitation
• immunofluorescence

Mutations in Lamin A have been linked to a variety of rare human diseases including muscular dystrophy, lipodystrophy, cardiomyopathy, neuropathy and progeroid syndromes (collectively termed laminopathies) and to premature aging (Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome). Lamins A/C participate in maintaining nuclear integrity, modulation of gene expression, cell proliferation and apoptosis.
