Type: | Domain | Name: | Inner nuclear membrane protein MAN1 |
Description: | This entry represents the Inner nuclear membrane proteins MAN1 (also known as LEM domain-containing protein 3) and LEM domain-containing protein 2 (or LEM protein 2). Emerin and MAN1 are LEM domain-containing integral membrane proteins of the vertebrate nuclear envelope []. MAN1 is an integral protein of the inner nuclear membrane which binds to chromatin associated proteins and plays a role in nuclear organisation. The C-terminal nulceoplasmic region forms a DNA binding winged helix and binds to Smad []. LEM protein 2 is an essential protein involved in chromosome segregation and cell division, probably via its interaction with lmn-1, the main component of nuclear lamina. Has some overlapping function with emr-1. | Short Name: | Inner-Nucl-membr_MAN1 |
