Stats by Source

Global = all mutations for this gene across every source.

Cell line = COSMIC Cell Lines Project + DepMap + PubMed.

Tissue = COSMIC primary-tissue (patient tumour) samples.

Global can exceed cell line + tissue: COSMIC tissue-derived models sit only in global, and a peptide can be shared across both.

Function

LAMP3 · Lysosome associated membrane protein 3

This gene encodes lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 3, a type 1 integral membrane protein that belongs to a family of lysosome associated membrane proteins which form part of the glycoconjugate coat present on the inside of the lysosomal membrane. It is predominantly expressed in mature dendritic cells and serves as a marker of dendritic cell maturation. The encoded protein localizes primarily to late endosomes/lysosomes and the MHC class II compartment, where it contributes to antigen processing and presentation during adaptive immune responses. The expression of this gene is inducible under hypoxic conditions via hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha signaling. In cancer, this gene is frequently overexpressed and is associated with tumor progression, metastasis, therapy resistance, and poor clinical prognosis in multiple malignancies including breast, cervical, and ovarian cancers.

Isoforms & Proteins

2 transcripts · UniProt mapping is sequence-verified (AA-safe)

About the isoform mapping
Isoforms & Proteins

Each Ensembl transcript (ENST) this gene is mutated on, with its matched UniProt accession.

The mapping is sequence-verified: the UniProt sequence is identical to the transcript translation, so amino-acid positions line up exactly. A * marks an unreviewed (TrEMBL) entry.

Counts are mutations and unique mutant peptides on each transcript.

Recurrent Mutations

Top recurrent amino-acid changes along the protein · needle height = number of mutations

What this lollipop shows
Recurrent Mutations

A lollipop / needle plot – the standard way to show recurrent mutations along a protein (as used by cBioPortal and MutationMapper).

X-axis = amino-acid position in the protein.

Needle height & head size = how often that exact amino-acid change was observed (its recurrence). Tall/large heads are mutational hotspots.

The most recurrent changes are labelled; hover any needle for the change, position and counts.

Mutation Distribution

Mutation counts by tissue
Mutation Distribution

How many mutations in LAMP3 were found in each tissue, across the whole database.

Each bar is a tissue (cell-line and tissue names are merged to the standard tissue), split into cell line and tissue (patient tumour) contributions.

This shows the cancer-context where this gene is recurrently altered.

About the expression data
GTEx Expression

Median gene expression (TPM) in normal, non-cancer human tissues from the GTEx project.

Useful for judging tumour specificity – a strong neoantigen target ideally comes from a gene with low expression in healthy tissues.
