	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,lysosome
text	type 1 membrane protein
	shuttles between lysosomes and the cell membrane

basic FUNCTION	playing a role in protection of the lysosomal membrane from autodigestion and maintenance of the acidic environment of the lysosome
	has established roles in adhesion and cellular homeostasis, including autophagocytosis and antigen presentation
	LAMP1 and LAMP2 are delivered to phagosomes during the maturation process
	participates in chaperone-mediated autophagy, lysosome biogenesis, lysosome-autophagosome fusion, and lysosome locomotion along microtubule tracts toward phagosomes
	may be involved the pathogenesis of accessory AV connections
	may participate in chaperone-mediated autophagy.Autophagy regulates T-lymphocyte homeostasis by promoting both survival and proliferation
	WDFY1 and LAMP2 can likely influence MTORC1 activity and regulate autophagy
	LAMP1 and LAMP2 have distinct functions, and the presence of both proteins together is required for the essential regulation of autophagy to avoid embryonic lethality
	plays a critical role in lysosomal biogenesis and maturation of autophagosomes/phagosomes

PATHWAY

metabolism

a component

constituent of membrane

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	LAMP2 attenuates EMT by suppressing SNAI1 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
	LGALS9 is enriched in lysosomes and predominantly binds to lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP2) in a Asn(N)-glycan dependent manner

Other morbid association(s)

Type Gene Modification Chromosome rearrangement Protein expression Protein Function constitutional     --over   in rimmed vacuoles constitutional     --low   may contribute to the formation of basal laminar deposits (BLamDs) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) constitutional     --over   can improve autophagic flux blockade probably by promoting the trafficking of cathepsins and consequently conferring cardiomyocyte resistance against lysosomal cell death (LCD) that is induced by ischemic injury

Susceptibility

to pauci-immune focal necrotizing glomerulonephritis to accessory atrioventricular connections

Variant & Polymorphism other	infection with fimbriated bacteria induces autoantibodies to LAMP2 through molecular mimicry and these antibodies bind microvascular endothelium and cause injury

Candidate gene	for MEAX
Marker	High expression of LAMP2 predicts poor prognosis in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC)
Therapy target

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
