Anti-MRPS12 antibody produced in rabbit

Mitochondrial ribosomal protein S12 (MRPS12), which is similar to bacterial ribosomal protein S12, is a eucaryote nucleus-encoded mitoribosomal component of mitochondrial translational apparatus that is translated on mitochondrial ribosomes.

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human MRPS12

Anti-MRPS12 polyclonal antibody is used to tag mitochondrial ribosomal protein S12 for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of mitochondrial ribosomal protein S12 in mitochondrial ribosome structure and protein synthesis.

Anti-MRPS12 polyclonal antibody reacts with canine, human, rat, and bovine mitochondrial ribosomal protein S12 proteins.

Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) consist of a small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit. MRPS12 is the 28S subunit protein that belongs to the ribosomal protein S12P family. The protein is a key component of the ribosomal small subunit and controls the decoding fidelity and susceptibility to aminoglycoside antibiotics.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 S12P family. The encoded protein is a key component of the ribosomal small subunit and controls the decoding fidelity and susceptibility to aminoglycoside antibiotics. The gene for mitochondrial seryl-tRNA synthetase is located upstream and adjacent to this gene, and both genes are possible candidates for the autosomal dominant deafness gene (DFNA4). Splice variants that differ in the 5′ UTR have been found for this gene; all three variants encode the same protein.
