Function |
Implicated in tumor cell metastasis. May function in protection of the lysosomal membrane from autodigestion, maintenance of the acidic environment of the lysosome, adhesion when expressed on the cell surface (plasma membrane), and inter- and intracellular signal transduction. Protects cells from the toxic effects of methylating mutagens. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8407947}.

Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17897319}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00740, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17897319}. Endosome membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17897319}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00740, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17897319}. Lysosome membrane {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00740, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17897319}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00740, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17897319}. Note=This protein shuttles between lysosomes, endosomes, and the plasma membrane.

Tissue Specificity |
Isoform LAMP-2A is highly expressed in placenta, lung and liver, less in kidney and pancreas, low in brain and skeletal muscle. Isoform LAMP-2B is highly expressed in skeletal muscle, less in brain, placenta, lung, kidney and pancreas, very low in liver.
