Rabbit polyclonal antibody to MRP~S35 (I252)

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~S35 (mitochondrial ribosomal protein S35), also known as MDS023, MRPS28 or HDCMD11P, is a 323 amino acid protein that localizes to the mitochondrion, where it exists as a component of the 28S ribosomal subunit and works in conjunction with other MRPs to mediate protein synthesis. Existing as two alternatively spliced isoforms, MRP~S35 is encoded by a gene located on human chromosome 10, which houses over 1,200 genes and comprises nearly 4.5% of the human genome.
