The nuclear lamina consists of two components, lamins and nuclear lamin-associated membrane proteins. The lamins are type V intermediate filaments which can be categorized as either A-type (lamin A, C) or B-type (lamin B 1, B 2) according to homology of their DNA sequences, biochemical properties and cellular localization during the cell cycle.
Lamina VII: intermediomedial nucleus, intermediolateral nucleus, posterior thoracic nucleus in the thoracic and upper lumbar region [6] Lamina X: an area of grey matter – the grey commissure surrounding the central canal. This region also serves to connect the anterior and posterior grey columns. [3] Rexed never described this as lamina X but ...
Nuclear lamins interact with inner nuclear membrane proteins to form the nuclear lamina on the interior of the nuclear envelope. Lamins have elastic and mechanosensitive properties, and can alter gene regulation in a feedback response to mechanical cues. [ 1 ]
The nuclear envelope is made up of two lipid bilayer membranes, an inner nuclear membrane and an outer nuclear membrane. These membranes are connected to each other by nuclear pores. Two sets of intermediate filaments provide support for the nuclear envelope. An internal network forms the nuclear lamina on the inner nuclear membrane. [7]
They are major constituents of the basement membrane, namely the basal lamina (the protein network foundation for most cells and organs). Laminins are vital to biological activity, influencing cell differentiation , migration , and adhesion .
The marginal nucleus of spinal cord, posteromarginal nucleus, or spinal lamina 1 (Rexed lamina 1) is located at the most dorsal aspect of the posterior grey column of the spinal cord. The neurons located here receive input primarily from Lissauer's tract and relay information related to pain and temperature sensation.
The nuclear lamina: a dense fiber network inside the nucleus of cells. [6] The lamina affixa: a layer of epithelium growing on the surface of the thalamus. The lamina of Drosophila is the most peripheral neuropil of the insect visual system. Lamina cribrosa with two different meanings. Osseous spiral lamina, a feature of the bony canal of the ...
The lamin family of proteins make up the matrix and are highly conserved in evolution. During mitosis, the lamina matrix is reversibly disassembled as the lamin proteins are phosphorylated. Lamin proteins are thought to be involved in nuclear stability, chromatin structure, and gene expression. Vertebrate lamins consist of two types, A and B.
