lmp-1 encodes a protein with similarity to vertebrate lysosome-associated membrane proteins CD68, and appears to be the only protein in C. elegans that has a GYXX (phi) vertebrate lysosomal targeting sequence at its carboxy terminus; LMP-1 is widely expressed in the early embryo, with later expression seen in the intestine, coelomocytes, and neurons; LMP-1 localizes to lysosomes and is recruited to phagosomes upon lysosomal fusion.
