Caenorhabditis elegans Enables histone binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and structural molecule activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular localization; determination of adult lifespan; and regulation of cell cycle. Located in nuclear envelope and nuclear periphery. Expressed in several structures, including ventral cord blast cell. Used to study Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy; congenital muscular dystrophy; and progeria. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B1; autosomal dominant Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy 2; autosomal recessive Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy 3; brain disease (multiple); congenital muscular dystrophy due to LMNA mutation; and intrinsic cardiomyopathy (multiple). Is an ortholog of human LMNA (lamin A/C).
