NCIt definition : Prelamin-A/C (664 aa, 74 kDa) is encoded by the human LMNA gene. This protein is
involved in the framework required for the nuclear envelope and in chromatin interactions.;
NCIt note : UniProt considers prelamin-A the canonical sequence; prelamin-C (572 aa, 65 kDa)
has a different amino acid sequence at residues 567-572 and is missing residues 573-664.; Prelamin-A/C must be farnesylated before it can be proteolytically processed by CAAX
prenyl protease 1 homolog to remove 3 C-terminal and then must be methylated before
it can be proteolytically processed to remove 15 C-terminal residues to yield lamin-A/C.;
