Anti-Mouse CD107a (LAMP-1) Purified

Description: The eBio1D4B monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse CD107a, also known as lysosomal-associated membrane protein-1 (LAMP-1). CD107a is a type I, lysosomal membrane protein that is extensively glycosylated. It is expressed constitutively in the late endosomes-lysosomes in all cells. CD107a is also transiently expressed on the cell surface of degranulating cytolytic T cells. Additionally, CD107a has been implicated in a variety of cellular functions including cancer metastasis and is also a marker for lysosomal storage disorders.
