In mammals, there are two closely related types of LAMP: LAMP1 and LAMP2.
CD68 (also called gp110 or macrosialin)[5] is a heavily glycosylated integral membrane protein whose structure consists of a mucin-like domain followed by a proline-rich hinge; a single LAMP-like domain; a transmembrane region and a short cytoplasmic tail.
