LAMP-2 Antibody

LAMP-2 antibody can be used for the detection of LAMP-2 by Western blot at 1 - 2 μg/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunocytochemistry starting at 10 μg/mL and immunohistochemistry starting at 5 μg/mL.

Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples; Immunohistochemistry in mouse samples and Immunocytochemistry in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

LAMP-2 antibody can be stored at 4°C for three months and -20°C, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.

LAMP-2 Antibody: Autophagy, the process of bulk degradation of cellular proteins through an autophagosomic-lysosomal pathway is important for normal growth control and may be defective in tumor cells. It is involved in the preservation of cellular nutrients under starvation conditions as well as the normal turnover of cytosolic components and is negatively regulated by TOR (Target of rapamycin). LAMP-2, a highly glycosylated protein associated with the lysosome, has recently been shown to be important in autophagy as mice deficient in this protein failed to convert autophagic vacuoles into vacuoles leading to impaired degradation of long-lived proteins. This correlates with the finding that human LAMP-2 deficiency causing Danon's disease is associated with the accumulation of autophagic material in striated myocytes. LAMP-2 exists in multiple isoforms.

LAMP-2 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.

LAMP-2 Antibody is supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.

LAMP-2 antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the carboxy terminus of human LAMP-2.

The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of LAMP-2.
