Lysosome Associated Membrane Protein 1 (LAMP 1, CD107a, Igp120, IgpA)
Description:
CD107a, also known as lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP-1), is a heavily glycosylated, type I transmembrane protein that constitutes one of the two major sialoglycoproteins on lysosomal membranes that can be used to distinguish lysosomes from other organelles.1 It is a ligand for galaptin, an S-type lectin present in extracellular matrix, through its recognition of acetyllactosamine oligosaccharide chains, and is a ligand for E-selectin-mediated cell adhesion.2 CD107a is principally expressed in epithelial cells and macrophages in a variety of organs in normal and Beige mutant mice.3 LAMP-1 may function in protecting the inner surface of the lysosomal membrane by forming a barrier to lysosomal hydrolases.4

Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Immunohistochemistry, Immunoaffinity chromatography, Immunoprecipitation, Western Blot and Immunoelectron microscopy. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Flow Cytometry: 1ug/10e6 cells
Immunohistochemistry: Frozen sections
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
