Anti-MRPL18 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein mitochondrial ribosomal protein L18. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 180 amino acid residues and a mass of 20.6 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the mitochondria. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the Universal ribosomal protein uL18 protein family, MRPL18 is known to be involved with mitochondrial translation and protein translation. Synonyms for this target antigen include L18mt, 39S ribosomal protein L18, mitochondrial, mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit protein uL18m, and HSPC071. MRPL18 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some MRPL18 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
