Limbic system-associated membrane protein (LAMP) 64- to 68-kDa heavily glycosylated protein found in neurons, specifically it is distributed in cortical and subcortical regions of the limbic system.[1] LAMP protein is expressed on the surface of somata and proximal dendrites of neurons where it integrates via glycosyl-phosphatidyl-inositol (GPI) anchor.[2] Despite the name, LAMP is not expressed only in the limbic-associated areas, but also less intensely in the midbrain and hindbrain regions.[2]
