General description

Lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP-2) is a highly glycosolated protein belonging to the lysosome-associated membrane protein family. This group pf proteins composes a significant portion of the lysosomal membrane and are considered crucial mediators for cellular adhesion by interacting with carbohydrate receptors. LAMP-2 is a profuse and critical component of the lysosomal membrane as it has been implicated in playing a role in lysosomal biogenesis. It also appears to be involved in later stages of phagocytosis and autophagy, where it may act to protect the lysosomal membrane from being digested, assist in signal transduction, moderate levels of acidity within the lysosomal environment, and participate in adhesion. Mutations in LAMP-2 expression have been associated with lysosomal storage diseases or LSDs, along with Danon disease, an X-linked disorder characterized by skeletal myopathy, mental retardation, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
