Mouse anti Human lysosome membrane protein 2 antibody recognizes lysosome membrane protein 2, also known as 85 kDa lysosomal membrane sialoglycoprotein, LGP85, CD36 antigen-like 2, SCARB2, LIMP II and scavenger receptor class B member 2.

Lysosome membrane protein 2 is a type III glycoprotein that is located primarily in limiting membranes of lysosomes and endosomes. Earlier studies in mice and rat suggested that this protein may participate in membrane transportation and the reorganization of endosomal/lysosomal compartment. The protein deficiency in mice was reported to impair cell membrane transport processes and cause pelvic junction obstruction, deafness, and peripheral neuropathy. Further studies in human showed that this protein is a ubiquitously expressed protein and that it is involved in the pathogenesis of HFMD (hand, foot, and mouth disease) caused by enterovirus-71 and possibly by coxsackievirus A16. Mutations in lysosome membrane protein 2 caused an autosomal recessive progressive myoclonic epilepsy-4 (EPM4), also known as action myoclonus-renal failure syndrome (AMRF). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for SCARB2 (provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011).

Mouse anti Human lysosome membrane protein 2 antibody detects a band of 80 kDa. The antibody has been extensively validated for western blotting using whole cell lysates.
