Lamin-B2is a protein in humans that is encoded by LMNB2 gene. Lamins are components of the nuclear lamina, a fibrous layer on the nucleoplasmic side of the inner nuclear membrane, which is thought to provide a framework for the nuclear envelope and may also interact with chromatin.

The human gene LMNB2 encodes nuclear lamin B2, an intermediate filament protein of the nuclear envelope [1]. LMNB2 binding to the nuclear envelope is mediated by a specific binding partner, the lamin B receptor (LBR). LMNB2 shares about 60% of amino acid sequences identical to LMNB1 [2]. LMNB1 and LMNB2 are each expressed at the highest levels in different neuronal cell types, suggesting both overlapping and potentially unique roles during brain development [3]. This finding is further demonstrated by John M Lee and coworkers. They discovered that both Lmnb1–/– and Lmnb2–/–mice manifested neurodevelopmental abnormalities similar to those in conventional knockout mice, indicating that LMNB1 and LMNB2 have unique functions and that increased production of one B-type lamin cannot compensate for the loss of the other [4]. A recent study has shown that LMNB2-null mice have grossly abnormal development of the cerebral cortex and cerebellum [5]. This phenotype, known as lissencephaly, is due to defective migration of nuclei within developing LMNB2-deficient mouse neurons. Thus, LMNB2 is a crucial nucleoskeletal component of the nuclear migration machinery in mammals, along with the NE-spanning LINC complexes formed by SUN-domain proteins and Syne/Nesprin proteins [6][7]. In addition to the roles in neurons, LMNB2 can also modulate the morphology, dynamics, and function of the nucleolus [8].
