MRPL15 polyclonal antibody

Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) are responsible for protein synthesis within the mitochondrion. The mitoribosomes are composed of a 4:1 ratio of protein to RNA, with the proteins forming two subunits, the 28S subunit and the 39S subunit. Across species, the proteins that make up the mitoribosome subunits vary greatly in sequence, preventing easy recognition by sequence homology. MRP-L15 (mitochondrial 39S ribosomal protein L15), also known as L15mt, is a 296 amino acid mitochondrial ribosomal protein belonging to the ribosomal protein L15P family. Localized to mitochondria, MRP-L15 is present in the 39S subunit of the mitoribosomes.
