Lamin A/C

Lamin A and Lamin C are essential proteins that form a supportive network called the nuclear lamina inside the cell's nucleus—the control center containing DNA. This network helps maintain the shape and stability of the nucleus, protects genetic material, and assists in regulating gene activity. Lamin A and C are produced from the same gene but differ slightly in structure. Proper functioning of these proteins is crucial; mutations can lead to diseases such as certain muscular dystrophies and premature aging syndromes, highlighting their important role in cell health and stability.
