Homo sapiens | when Ca2+ is buffered in the nucleus of SKHep1 cells, LGMN mRNA is decreased by 97%, in part by a transcriptional mechanism, and decreased expression at the protein level is observed by immunoblot and immunofluorescence | down |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
malfunction | knockdown of LGMN by siRNA decreases proliferation of SKHep1 cells by 50% as measured both by BrdU uptake and mitotic index, although an inhibitor of LGMN activity does not affect BrdU incorporation. A significant reduction in the fraction of cells in G2/M phase is seen. This is associated with increases in the expression of cyclins A and E | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | nuclear Ca2+ signals regulate cell proliferation in part through the modulation ofLGMN expression | Homo sapiens |
