Abstract excerpt
Emerin is the nuclear membrane protein defective in X-linked Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (X-EDMD). The majority of X-EDMD patients have no detectable emerin. However, there are cases that produce mutant forms of emerin, which can be used to study its function. Our previous studies have shown that the emerin mutants S54F, P183T, P183H, Del95-99, Del236-241 (identified in X-EDMD patients) are targeted to the...
