Anti-BADLAMP antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the BADLAMP antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the LAMP5 gene, which encodes lysosomal associated membrane protein family member 5. This protein is reported to play a role in short-term synaptic plasticity in a subset of GABAergic neurons in the brain. The human version of BADLAMP has a canonical amino acid length of 280 residues and a protein mass of 31.5 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the cell membrane of cells and notably expressed in the caudate. BADLAMP is a member of the LAMP protein family.
