Application

Anti-LMAN2 (AB1) polyclonal antibody is used to tag lectin, mannose-binding 2 for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of lectin, mannose-binding 2 in the secretion of high mannose glycoproteins.

Biochem/physiol Actions

LMAN2 plays a role as an intracellular lectin in the early secretory pathway. It interacts with N-acetyl-D-galactosamine and high-mannose type glycans and may also bind to O-linked glycans. It is involved in the transport and sorting of glycoproteins carrying high mannose-type glycans.

General description

Lectin, mannose-binding 2 (LMAN2, VIP36) is an intracellular, integral membrane protein that functions as a lectin of the post-Golgi secretory pathway. LMAN2 facilitates the secretion of high mannose glycoproteins predominantly via the apical surface of cells.
