Rabbit polyclonal antibody to RPL30

Ribosomes, the organelles that catalyze protein synthesis, are composed of a small subunit (40S) and a large subunit (60S) that consist of over 80 distinct ribosomal proteins. Mammalian ribosomal proteins are encoded by multigene families that contain processed pseudogenes and one functional intron~containing gene within their coding regions. Ribosomal Protein L30, also known as RPL30, is a 115 amino acid protein that localizes to the cytoplasm and exists as a component of the 60S subunit, possibly playing a role in protein translation. Like most ribosomal proteins, Ribosomal Protein L30 exists as multiple processed pseudogenes that are scattered throughout the genome. The gene encoding Ribosomal Protein L30 maps to human chromosome 8, which consists of nearly 146 million base pairs, houses more than 800 genes and is associated with a variety of diseases and malignancies.
