Product Name:

Anti-LAMP2 antibody [for human]

Catalog Number:

ab25631

Clone Number:

H4B4

Our lab studies the role of cellular mTOR signaling in growth. Spatial organization of mTOR at the lysosome is critical for its activation. We routinely perform confocal microscopy to assess mTOR localization at the lysosome using LAMP2 as an identifying marker for lysosomes.
