Muscular LMNA-interacting protein (MLIP) is a muscle-enriched A-type Lamin-interacting protein, an innovation of amniotes, and is expressed ubiquitously and most abundantly in heart, skeletal, and smooth muscle. MLIP interacts directly and co-localises with lamin A and C in the nuclear envelope. MLIP also co-localises with promyelocytic leukemia (PML) bodies within the nucleus. PML, like MLIP, is only found in amniotes, suggesting that a functional link between the nuclear envelope and PML bodies may exist through MLIP [].
