Proteins localized in the inner nuclear membrane (INM) engage in various fundamental cellular processes via their interactions with outer nuclear membrane (ONM) proteins and nuclear lamina. LAP2-emerin-MAN1 domain (LEMD) family proteins, predominantly positioned in the INM, participate in the maintenance of INM functions, including the reconstruction of the nuclear envelope during mitosis, mechanotransduction, and gene transcriptional modulation. Malfunction of LEMD proteins leads to severe tissue-restricted diseases, which may manifest as fatal deformities and defects. In this review, we summarize the significant roles of LEMD proteins in cellular processes, explains the mechanisms of LEMD protein-related diseases, and puts forward questions in less-explored areas like details in tissue-restricted phenotypes. It intends to sort out previous works about LEMD proteins and pave way for future researchers who might discover deeper mechanisms of and better treatment strategies for LEMD protein-related diseases.
