Description
Human LSAMP Recombinant Protein C-His Tag Lyophilized has been recombinantly produced in HEK293 Cells.
The limbic system-associated membrane protein (LAMP) is a cell surface glycoprotein expressed by cortical and subcortical regions of the mammalian CNS that comprise or receive direct projections from limbic system structures. The 64-68-kDa glycoprotein limbic system-associated membrane protein (LsAMP) is expressed on the surface of somata and proximal dendrites of neurons. These areas perform cognitive and autonomic functions; also learning and memory. The functional analysis indicates that LsAMP acts as a selective adhesion molecule; serving as a guidance cue for specific patterns of connectivity; which underlies the normal development of the limbic system. In animal studies there have been found that rats with increased level of anxiety had 1.6-fold higher expression of LsAMP gene in the periaqueductal gray compared to rats with low level of anxiety; indicating a possible role of LsAMP in the regulation of anxiety
