Lysosomes are membrane-bound vacuoles that digest foreign materials and perform specialized autolysis functions1. LAMP-1 is a lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein1 involved in lysosomal biogenesis, pH regulation, autophagy, and cholesterol homeostasis that also plays a role in natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity and protects NK cells from degranulation-associated damage induced by their own cytotoxic granule content2. Additionally, LAMP-1 presents carbohydrate ligands to selectins and facilitates microbial infection of Lassa virus and Mumps virus via interactions with viral glycoprotein and fusion protein F, respectively. LAMP-1 is highly abundant in lysosomes and can be used as a maker to determine the amount and distribution of lysosomes3.H4A3 was generated by immunizing Sprague Dawley rats with NIH/3T3 cells4. Spleen cells were fused with murine myeloma P3X653-Ag8 cells. The antibody was deposited in the Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank when first developed.

LAMP-1 primarily localizes to the periphery of the lysosome and is aconstituent of the lysosome membrane. LAMP1 is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues.
