Nuclear Lamina

Source:http://linkedlifedata.com/resource/umls/id/C1136039

GO: The fibrous, electron-dense layer lying on the nucleoplasmic side of the inner membrane of a cell nucleus, composed of lamin filaments. The polypeptides of the lamina are thought to be concerned in the dissolution of the nuclear envelope and its re-formation during mitosis. The lamina is composed of lamin A and lamin C filaments cross-linked into an orthogonal lattice, which is attached via lamin B to the inner nuclear membrane through interactions with a lamin B receptor, an IFAP, in the membrane. [ISBN:0198506732, ISBN:0716731363],MSH: A lattice of fibrils which covers the entire inner surface of the nuclear envelope and interlinks nuclear pores (NUCLEAR PORE).,NCI: The nuclear lamina is a proteinaceous filamentous meshwork of lamin proteins interacting with integral proteins of the inner nuclear membrane, including emerin, and is thought to play a role in nuclear stability, chromatin structure, and gene expression. Lamins are highly conserved in evolution and members of the intermediate filament protei
