LAMP1 Antibodies
Background
LAMP1 is a highly glycosylated type I transmembrane protein, mainly distributed in the lysosomal membrane and endosome-lysosomal transport pathway of eukaryotic cells. This protein plays a core role in maintaining intracellular homeostasis and degrading metabolism by regulating the integrity of lysosomes, participating in autophagy processes, and mediating intracellular membrane transport. Its gene was first identified in 1987 and has become a landmark research object in organelle biology due to its crucial role in lysosomal biogenesis. The typical structural features of LAMP1 include highly conserved intracellular domains and a large number of glycosylated extracellular regions. This special conformation not only protects the lysosomal membrane from enzymatic damage but also participates in the regulation of cell adhesion and immune responses. Recent studies have found that the abnormal expression of LAMP1 is closely related to various pathological processes such as neurodegenerative diseases, cancer metastasis and pathogen infection, making it an important object for disease mechanism research and targeted therapy development.
Structure of LAMP1
LAMP1 is a relatively large type I transmembrane protein. Its molecular weight varies between approximately 110 and 130 kDa due to high glycosylation, and this value can differ depending on the species and the degree of glycosylation modification.
Species | Human | Mouse | Rat | Bovine |
Molecular Weight (kDa) | ~120 | ~110 | ~110-120 | ~120 |
Primary Structural Differences | Human CD107a has a typical cavity structure | High homology with rat and a slightly different glycosylation pattern | Highly similar to mice | Conservative tyrosine motif |
This protein is composed of approximately 385 amino acids. Its structural features include a large, highly glycosylated lumenal domain, a single transmembrane domain, and a relatively short cytoplasmic tail. Its cavity structure is mainly composed of β -folds, which are responsible for protecting the lysosomal membrane from enzymatic hydrolysis. The cytoplasmic tail contains a typical tyrosine motif (G-Y-E-Q-F), which is used to mediate the interaction with the cell kernel transport mechanism and regulate the lysosomal movement and membrane fusion process.

Key structural properties of LAMP1:
- Large highly glycosylated luminal domain structures
- Single anchor across a membrane structure domain is due to the lysosome membrane
- Cytoplasmic tail contains GYEQI tyrosine motif
Functions of LAMP1
The main function of LAMP1 is to maintain the integrity of lysosomes and participate in the degradation of intracellular substances. In addition, it also involves a variety of cellular processes, including autophagy regulation, cell adhesion and immune response.
Function | Description |
Lysosomal membrane protection | The lysosomal membrane is protected from degradation by internal acidic hydrolases through a highly glycosylated cavity structure. |
Regulation of autophagy process | Involved in autophagy body with the lysosome fusion process, is the key to the degradation cell autophagy and the content of media. |
Intracellular transport | Mediate membrane transport and interorganelle material exchange in the endosome-lysosomal system. |
Cell adhesion and migration | Through the extracellular domain, it participates in intercellular interactions and affects the metastasis of cancer cells and the movement of immune cells. |
Antigen presentation and immune regulation | Effect in immune cells MHC class II molecules and antigen processing of transportation, to participate in the immune response regulation. |
LAMP1 protein is often used as a marker of lysosomes due to its localization and functional characteristics. It is widely expressed in various cells, but its expression is often significantly upregulated in tumor cells and activated immune cells.
Applications of LAMP1 and LAMP1 Antibody in Literature

This study, based on the analysis of the TCGA database, found that LAMP1 was significantly upregulated in low-grade glioma (LGG) of the brain and was closely related to the poor prognosis of patients and immune cell infiltration. The expression level of LAMP1 is significantly correlated with histological subtypes, suggesting that it can serve as a potential prognostic marker for LGG.

The article indicates that LAMP1 is significantly lowly expressed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and is closely related to a poor prognosis. Functional experiments have shown that LAMP1 can inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of tumor cells. Its expression is regulated by LC3C and is related to the VHL status. LAMP1 can serve as a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for ccRCC.

The article indicates that LAMP1 and LAMP2 directly inhibit the activity of the ion channel TMEM175, regulate the pH homeostasis of lysosomes, and promote acidification to maintain the optimal hydrolase function. Disrupting this interaction leads to lysosomal alkalization and functional impairment. This discovery is of great significance to the physiological and disease mechanisms related to lysosomes.

The article indicates that LAMP1 is a novel membrane marker of cellular senescence, which is specifically highly expressed in senescent cells of humans and mice, and significantly increases with age and fibrosis models. LAMP1+ cells highly express typical aging markers such as p16 and p21. Antibody-drug conjugates targeting LAMP1 can effectively eliminate senescent cells and have potential for anti-aging treatment.

The article indicates that LAMP1 plays a key protective role in Parkinson's disease (PD) models. Experiments on fruit flies have shown that the absence of LAMP1 aggravates motor deficits caused by oxidative stress and alpha-synuclein toxicity, while its reexpression can completely reverse the phenotype and may alleviate neurotoxicity by promoting non-pathogenic aggregation formation, suggesting that it has a protective mechanism against PD.
