Protocol
Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation
Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-Lamin A/C (Ser22) (D2B2E) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of lamin A/C protein only when phosphorylated at Ser22.
Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser22 of human lamin A/C protein.
Background
Lamins are nuclear membrane structural components that are important in maintaining normal cell functions such as cell cycle control, DNA replication, and chromatin organization (1-3). Lamin A/C is cleaved by caspase-6 and serves as a marker for caspase-6 activation. During apoptosis, lamin A/C is specifically cleaved into a large (41-50 kDa) and a small (28 kDa) fragment (3,4). The cleavage of lamins results in nuclear dysregulation and cell death (5,6).~Phosphorylation of lamin A/C at Ser22 was identified in several cell lines by mass spectrometry analysis in proteomic screens. The surrounding sequence is a typical MAPK/CDK phosphorylation motif, which implicates a role in the cell cycle and mitosis (7-11).
