Anti-LAMP1 Antibody

Lysosomal Associated Membrane Protein1 (LAMP1) is a protein that is localized primarily in lysosomes but may also be present on late endosomes and the plasma membrane. LAMP1 antibodies are therefore widely used as lysosome markers. It has recently been suggested that lysosomes are activated in microglia in the progression of multiple system atrophy (MSA) and thus play a key role in its pathology (Makioka et al., 2012).
