Further Information

Additional Names:
LIMP2 Antibody: AMRF, EPM4, LGP85, CD36L2, HLGP85, LIMP-2, LIMPII, SR-BII, LIMP2, Lysosome membrane protein 2, 85 kDa lysosomal membrane sialoglycoprotein
Application Note:
LIMP2 antibody can be used for detection of LIMP2 by Western blot at 1 and 2 μg/mL. Despite its predicted molecular weight, LIMP2 runs at approximately 80 - 85 kDa in SDS-PAGE. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 10 μg/mL.

Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples and Immunohistochemistry in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.
Background:
LIMP2 Antibody: The lysosomal integral membrane protein 2 (LIMP2) is a heavily glycosylated type III transmembrane protein, the majority of which exists in the lumen of the lysosome and a cytoplasmic domain of approximately 20 amino acids. A deficiency of LIMP2 in mice causes uretic pelvic junction obstruction, deafness, and peripheral neuropathy associated with impaired vesicular trafficking and distribution of apically expressed proteins. More recently, LIMP2 was shown to act as a receptor to bind beta-glucocerebrosidase, the enzyme defective in Gaucher disease, a lysosomal storage disorder. LIMP2-deficient mice showed missorted as well as secreted beta-glucocerebrosidase, suggesting that LIMP2 also functions as the mannose-6-phosphate-independent trafficking receptor.
