Multiple mRNAs encode the avian lysosomal membrane protein LAMP-2, resulting in alternative transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains

Abstract excerpt

Lysosomal membranes are enriched in extensively glycosylated transmembrane proteins, LAMP-1 and LAMP-2. LAMP-1 proteins have been characterized from several mammalian species and from chickens, but no non-mammalian homologues of LAMP-2 have been described, and no splice variants of either protein have been reported. Here we report the characterization of three cDNA clones encoding chicken LAMP-2. The nucleotide...
