LAMP2, also known as lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 2 isoform A, is a major component of lysosomal membranes. It provides selectins with carbohydrate ligands. This protein mediates the lysosomal uptake of the chaperone HSC73 in complex with cargo proteins and is required for the lysosomal destruction of autophagic vacuoles. Deficiency of LAMP2 is a rare X-linked lysosomal disease characterized by cardiomyopathy, vacuolar myopathy, and mental retardation. Recombinant human LAMP2 protein, fused to His-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
