The MRPS18A Monoclonal Antibody (PAC041706) is a valuable tool for research involving MRPS18A, a mitochondrial ribosomal protein implicated in protein synthesis and cellular respiration. This antibody, generated in mice, is highly specific to human samples and is validated for use in various applications, including Western blotting and immunofluorescence.MRPS18A is a crucial component of the mitochondrial ribosome, playing a key role in the translation of mitochondrial DNA-encoded proteins. Dysregulation of MRPS18A has been associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and energy production deficits, making it a target of interest in studies related to metabolic diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer.
By targeting MRPS18A, researchers can further explore its role in mitochondrial function and its implications for cellular health. This antibody enables the detection and analysis of MRPS18A in different cell types, providing insights into its function and potential therapeutic targets for diseases linked to mitochondrial dysfunction.

UniProt Protein Function:
MiscellaneousThere are 3 mitochondrial isoforms of bS18 in mammalia, localizing to 3 distinct sites in the mitoribosome. bS18m (bs18c) binds to the same site as bacterial bS18, mS40 (bS18b) binds to a novel location of the 28S small subunit, and mL66 (bS18a, this protein) binds to the 39S large subunit.

NCBI Summary:
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 28S subunit protein that belongs to the ribosomal protein S18P family. The encoded protein is one of three that has significant sequence similarity to bacterial S18 proteins. The primary sequences of the three human mitochondrial S18 proteins are no more closely related to each other than they are to the prokaryotic S18 proteins. A pseudogene corresponding to this gene is found on chromosome 3p. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]
