The MRPL3 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC022423) is a specialized tool for studying MRPL3, a mitochondrial ribosomal protein with implications in cellular energy production. This antibody, developed using rabbits, exhibits high specificity for human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By recognizing and binding to the MRPL3 protein, this antibody enables precise detection and analysis in various cell types, making it well-suited for investigations in the fields of mitochondrial biology and metabolic research.MRPL3 is a key component of the mitochondrial ribosome, essential for the translation of mitochondrial DNA-encoded proteins involved in oxidative phosphorylation.
Dysregulation of MRPL3 has been linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular energy deficits, making it a target of interest in studies related to metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. Understanding the role of MRPL3 in cellular energy production and metabolism is crucial for uncovering potential therapeutic strategies for diseases associated with mitochondrial dysfunction.

Background:
Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomal proteins are encoded by nuclear genes and help in protein synthesis within the mitochondrion. Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) consist of a small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit. They have an estimated 75% protein to rRNA composition compared to prokaryotic ribosomes, where this ratio is reversed. Another difference between mammalian mitoribosomes and prokaryotic ribosomes is that the latter contain a 5S rRNA. Among different species, the proteins comprising the mitoribosome differ greatly in sequence, and sometimes in biochemical properties, which prevents easy recognition by sequence homology. This gene encodes a 39S subunit protein that belongs to the L3P ribosomal protein family. A pseudogene corresponding to this gene is found on chromosome 13q.
