lem-2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables chromatin DNA binding activity and lamin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including mitotic cytokinesis; organelle organization; and response to X-ray. Located in chromosome and nuclear envelope. Used to study Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy and cataract 46 juvenile-onset. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome and cataract 46 juvenile-onset. Is an ortholog of human LEMD2 (LEM domain nuclear envelope protein 2) and LEMD3 (LEM domain containing 3).
