The nuclear lamina contains intermediate filament-type proteins called lamins that form a dense network to strengthen and stabilize the nuclear envelope. Lamina-associated polypeptide 2 (LAP2) is also known as thymopoietin. LAP2 is a nuclear envelope protein and contains an amino-terminal region called the LAP2-emerin-MAN1 or LEM motif. LAP2 also contains a unique DNA-binding amino-terminal domain. Alternative splicing produces six isoforms (α, β,γ, ε and δ) of mammalian LAP2 and three isoforms in Xenopus LAP2.
