Anti-MRPL17 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein mitochondrial ribosomal protein L17. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 175 amino acid residues and a mass of 20.1 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the mitochondria. It is notably expressed in adrenal gland, mammary gland and adipose tissue. A member of the Bacterial ribosomal protein bL17 protein family, it is known to be involved with mitochondrial translation. Synonyms for this target antigen include LYST-interacting protein 2, LYST-interacting protein LIP2, mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit protein bL17m, and 39S ribosomal protein L17, mitochondrial.
