    Summary
    Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including heterochromatin formation; nucleus organization; and protein localization to nuclear envelope. Located in apical plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including egg-laying apparatus; excretory system; hypodermis; pharynx; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in partial lipodystrophy; primary autosomal recessive microcephaly; and progressive myoclonus epilepsy 9. Orthologous to human LMNB2 (lamin B2).

    GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. Genetic and imaging analyses suggest that IFB-1/IFA-4 and IFB-1/IFC-2 polymers form a perilumenal triple IF lattice, sandwiched between actin and helical tubulin. Our findings characterize a novel mechanism of capillary-like lumenogenesis, where a tensile trilayered cytoskeletal endotube transforms concentric into directional growth.

      Title: Intermediate filament (IF) proteins IFA-1 and IFB-1 represent a basic heteropolymeric IF cytoskeleton of nematodes: A molecular phylogeny of nematode IFs.
    3. observations indicate that SUMO regulates cytoplasmic intermediate filament assembly by maintaining a cytoplasmic pool of nonpolymerized IFB-1, and that this is necessary for normal IFB-1 function.
