In humans, three genes encode lamins: 

Lamins A and C (alternatively spliced gene) 

Lamins B1 and B2

B-type lamins - expressed in essentially all cells (primordial lamin proteins)

lamins A and C - developmentally regulated

Lamins B are post-translationally prenylated, which helps them associate with the inner nuclear envelope membrane.

Lamins 

contribute to genome organization as well as to the rigidity of the nucleus through linkages to the

cytoskeleton involving proteins with SUN and KASH domains
