REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.

ZMPSTE24 also known as FACE1 or STE24 is a zinc metalloprotease enzyme involved in the post-translational modification of prelamin A to mature lamin A. This enzyme specifically cleaves the C-terminal tail of prelamin A a critical step required for proper nuclear envelope structure and function. ZMPSTE24 has a molecular mass of approximately 54 kDa and is expressed in several tissues including skeletal muscle heart and skin. Its activity primarily takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane where it executes its proteolytic functions.
Biological function summary
The alteration of prelamin A to lamin A by ZMPSTE24 is necessary for maintaining nuclear shape and stability. Lamin A is a major component of the nuclear lamina providing structural support to the nuclear envelope. ZMPSTE24 is part of a proteolytic complex that ensures the proper maturation of lamin A which plays a significant role in DNA replication and cellular division. Deficiency in ZMPSTE24 activity can lead to the accumulation of farnesylated prelamin A disrupting nuclear architecture and cellular processes.
Pathways
The function of ZMPSTE24 integrates into the broader context of the lamin A maturation pathway significant for nuclear integrity. It collaborates with other enzymes like farnesyltransferase and icmt during the maturation process of prelamin A to lamin A. ZMPSTE24 also interacts with the protein lamin B which is an associate in the nuclear lamina. This cooperation within the pathway ensures the functional execution of nuclear mechanical properties and DNA repair processes.
The abnormal function or mutation of ZMPSTE24 connects direly with disorders such as restrictive dermopathy and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS). In HGPS defective ZMPSTE24 fails to process prelamin A leading to the build-up of a toxic version of prelamin A termed progerin. This accumulation contributes to premature aging phenotypes. The disorder correlates with mutations in LMNA a gene encoding lamins A and C highlighting the tandem dependency between ZMPSTE24 and lamin A in maintaining nuclear structure and overall cellular health.
