MRP-L41 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

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 39S subunit protein that belongs to the YmL27 ribosomal protein family. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008], function:Component of the mitochondrial ribosome large subunit. Also involved in apoptosis and cell cycle. Enhances TP53/p53 stability, thereby contributing to TP53/p53-induced apoptosis in response to growth-inhibitory condition. Enhances TP53/p53 translocation to the mitochondria. Has the ability to arrest the cell cycle at the G1 phase, possibly by stabilizing the CDKN1A and CDKN1B (p27Kip1) proteins., similarity:Belongs to the ribosomal protein L41 family., subunit:Component of the mitochondrial ribosome large subunit (39S) which comprises a 16S rRNA and about 50 distinct proteins. Interacts with BCL2., tissue specificity:Present in kidney, liver, thymus and testis, and at lower level in brain and spleen (at protein level) .
