Anti-MRPS2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein mitochondrial ribosomal protein S2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 296 amino acid residues and a mass of 33.2 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the mitochondria. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the Universal ribosomal protein uS2 protein family, MRPS2 is known to be required for mitoribosome formation and stability, and mitochondrial translation. The MRPS2 gene has been associated with the disease, Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency. Synonyms for this target antigen include COXPD36, S2mt, 28S ribosomal protein S2, mitochondrial, mitochondrial small ribosomal subunit protein uS2m, and CGI-91. MRPS2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is the most common application for the MRPS2 antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
