Shipping conditions update: ambient shipping
This product will be delivered at ambient temperature instead of chilled – this is by design. Extensive stability testing confirmed that our products are suitable for shipment under ambient conditions and maintain expected quality.
Why the change?
It’s part of our commitment to more sustainable packaging solutions, with ambient deliveries using eco-friendly materials such as recyclable cardboard instead of polystyrene.
What you need to know
Ambient shipments come clearly marked on the delivery note.
No ice will be included in ambient shipments, but mixed orders (ambient and cold-chain items) will still arrive with ice packs to protect temperature-sensitive products.
Warranty coverage remains fully valid, aligned with our validated shipping method.
Please store the product as per the datasheet instructions upon receipt.

LAMP2A also known as lysosome-associated membrane protein 2A functions as a lysosomal marker and plays a role in the lysosome size and structure regulation. Its molecular weight is approximately 45 kDa. This protein is expressed mainly in tissues with high metabolic activity such as liver kidney and heart. LAMP2A is an integral component of the lysosomal membrane and is important for the proper function and maintenance of lysosomes which are cellular organelles involved in the degradation and recycling of macromolecules.
Biological function summary
LAMP2A facilitates chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) a specific mechanism for the selective degradation of proteins. It is not part of a larger complex but rather acts independently within the lysosomal membrane. This transport functions through recognizing cytosolic proteins containing a KFERQ-like motif which are then translocated into the lysosome for degradation. LAMP2A upholds cellular homeostasis and is important in adapting to cellular stress by facilitating the turnover of damaged or unnecessary proteins.
Pathways
LAMP2A is intimately involved in the CMA pathway. This pathway is important for regulating protein quality control often linked with other autophagic processes. LAMP2A also interacts with the heat shock cognate protein (HSC70) which assists in unfolding and transporting substrate proteins to lysosomes. Through these interactions LAMP2A helps maintain cellular proteostasis which is essential for cellular function and survival especially during stress conditions.
LAMP2A is connected to lysosomal storage disorders such as Danon disease. This disease is characterized by the accumulation of autophagic vacuoles due to defects in lysosomal function. LAMP2A mutations alter lysosomal degradation capabilities leading to severe cardiomyopathy and myopathy. Additionally LAMP2A has implications in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease due to its role in protein degradation pathways. In these contexts malfunction or altered expression of LAMP2A can disrupt cellular clearance processes contributing to pathogenesis along with proteins such as alpha-synuclein.
