Description
SpecificityThis antibody recognizes human, rat, and hamster LAMP1.Accession no.: NP_036989.1 Gene ID: 25328
BackgroundLysosome-associated membrane proteins (LAMP1 and LAMP2) are major constituents of the lysosomal membrane. The structures of these two proteins are closely related with 37% sequence homology. Both are transmembrane glycoproteins localized primarily in lysosomes and late endosomes. Cell surface LAMP1 and LAMP2 promote adhesion of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to vascular endothelium which suggests that they are involved in adhesion of PBMC at sites of inflammation.
Antigen Details
FunctionLysosomal membrane glycoprotein which plays an important role in lysosome biogenesis, autophagy, and cholesterol homeostasis (By similarity). Plays also an important role in NK-cells cytotoxicity. Mechanistically, participates in cytotoxic granule movement to the cell surface and perforin trafficking to the lytic granule. In addition, protects NK-cells from degranulation-associated damage induced by their own cytotoxic granule content. Presents carbohydrate ligands to selectins. Also implicated in tumor cell metastasis (By similarity). {UniProtKB:P11279, UniProtKB:P11438}.
