Anti-ASC-1 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the ASC-1 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the RPL3 gene, which encodes ribosomal protein L3. This protein is known to function in protein translation, among other biological roles. The human version of ASC-1 has a canonical amino acid length of 403 residues and a protein mass of 46.1 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm of cells. ASC-1 is a member of the Universal ribosomal protein uL3 protein family.
