Function

The protein expressed by gene LAMP2 plays an important role in chaperone-mediated autophagy, facilitating the lysosomal degradation of proteins in response to various stresses and as part of normal protein turnover, especially for those with a long biological half-life. It functions by binding target proteins like GAPDH and MLLT11, directing them for lysosomal degradation, and is necessary for the fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes during autophagy. Although cells lacking LAMP2 express normal VAMP8 levels, they fail to accumulate STX17 on autophagosomes, likely explaining the fusion failure between autophagosomes and lysosomes. LAMP2 is essential for the normal degradation of autophagosomal contents and efficient MHCII-mediated presentation of exogenous antigens, as it facilitates lysosomal protein degradation. It is not required for the presentation of endogenous antigens via MHCII. Specifically, isoform LAMP-2C modulates chaperone-mediated autophagy, reduces presentation of endogenous antigens by MHCII, and does not influence the presentation of exogenous and membrane-derived antigens by MHCII.

Supplementary info

Activity summary

LAMP2 also known as CD107b is an important protein found in the lysosomal membrane. It plays a significant role in lysosome function facilitating autophagy and the degradation of cellular debris. LAMP2 proteins are expressed in most tissues especially in tissues with high lysosomal activity like the liver kidney and heart. The LAMP2 molecule has a molecular weight of approximately 45 kDa. Researchers frequently use LAMP2 staining and LAMP2 marker to study its cellular localization and expression levels.

Biological function summary

LAMP2 is essential for the normal fusion of lysosomes with autophagosomes. This process ensures the recycling of cellular components and maintenance of cellular homeostasis. LAMP2 acts in conjunction with other members of the lysosome-associated membrane protein family LAMP1 and LAMP3 forming part of a larger complex. This interaction is fundamental in managing the degradation pathways within the cell supporting processes such as lipid metabolism and protein turnover.

Pathways

The activity of LAMP2 is critical in the autophagic and degradation pathways within the cell. It particularly interacts in the autophagy-lysosome pathway where it aids the clearance of damaged organelles and protein aggregates. LAMP2 interaction with proteins such as the autophagy-related protein LC3 helps this degradation process. Additionally LAMP2 plays a role in endocytic pathways linking it to proteins involved in vesicle trafficking and membrane fusion.

Associated diseases and disorders

Mutations or deficiencies in LAMP2 are associated with Danon disease a type of lysosomal storage disorder. Patients with Danon disease exhibit symptoms such as cardiomyopathy skeletal myopathy and intellectual disabilities. LAMP2 is also implicated in other lysosomal disorders with a connection to the malfunction of autophagy processes. Its dysfunction is often linked with proteins responsible for cellular degradation affecting the normal homeostatic balance and leading to the accumulation of autophagic substrates.

    Along with THP-1 macrophages, other human cell lines were loaded, and the 110 kDa mature band for LAMP2 was detected in all the samples. On the other hand, mouse and rat cells were negative. The antibody works really good on human samples, detecting a single 110 kDa band but it's not suitable to use for mouse or rat samples.
