LAMP-2/CD107b Proteins and Enzymes

Lysosomal associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP-2), also known as CD107b and LGP110, is an approximately 110 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that is a major component of lysosomal membranes. Within the lumenal domain, human LAMP2 shares approximately 64% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat LAMP-2. LAMP-2 itself is subject to lysosomal degradation following cleavage of its lumenal domain. It mediates the lysosomal uptake of the chaperone HSC73 in complex with cargo proteins and is required for ...
