Biological background

ALOX5AP (protein: Lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 2 (Lamp2)) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): SNAREs, soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor- attachment protein receptors, are essential proteins for fusion of cellular membranes. SNAREs localized on opposing membranes assemble to form a trans-SNARE complex, an extended, parallel four alpha-helical bundle that drives membrane fusion. VAMP8 is a SNARE involved in autophagy through the control of autophagosome membrane fusion with the lysososome membrane via its interaction with the STX17-SNAP29 binary t-SNARE complex (PubMed:23217709, PubMed:25686604). Also required for dense-granule secretion in platelets (PubMed:12130530). Plays also a role in regulated enzyme secretion in pancreatic acinar cells (By similarity). Involved in the abscission of the midbody during cell division, which leads to completely separate daughter cells (By similarity). Involved in the homotypic fusion of early and late endosomes (By similarity). . Reported cellular localization context: Lysosome membrane ; Single-pass type IV membrane protein . Early endosome membrane ; Single-pass type IV membrane protein . Late endosome membrane ; Single-pass type IV membrane protein . Cell membrane ; Single-pass type IV membrane protein . Perinuclear vesicular structures of the early and late endosomes, coated pits, and trans-Golgi (By similarity). Sub-tight junctional domain in retinal pigment epithelium cells. Midbody region during cytokinesis. Lumenal oriented, apical membranes of nephric tubular cell (By similarity). Cycles through the apical but not through the basolateral plasma membrane (By similarity). Apical region of acinar cells; in zymogen granule membranes (By similarity). .

Research relevance and current trends

• Research context keywords from the source record include: Cell Type Marker,Immunology,Innate Immunity,Macrophage/Inflammation,Neuron Marker,Neuroscience,Neurotransmission,Secretory Vesicles,Synapse Marker.
• Current studies often focus on connecting target abundance/localization to pathway perturbations across models, tissues, and cell states.
• Quantitative and multiplexed assays (e.g., imaging + immunoblot panels) are commonly used to compare phenotypes across conditions and time-courses.

Common research applications

• Western blotting (WB): assess relative target abundance across samples, treatments, or time-points.

Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate ALOX5AP antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect ALOX5AP expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Compare relative ALOX5AP levels across experimental conditions (dose/time-course) using antibody-based readouts

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Consider isoforms and post-translational modifications (PTMs) that may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
• Apparent molecular weight may vary by sample type and processing (observed MW: 16 kDa; calculated MW: 11438 MW).
• Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
