Anti-MRPS18-2 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the MRPS18-2 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the MRPS18B gene, which encodes mitochondrial ribosomal protein S18B. This protein is known to function in mitochondrial translation and protein translation, among other biological roles. The human version of MRPS18-2 has a canonical amino acid length of 258 residues and a protein mass of 29.4 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the mitochondria of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types. Other names for this target antigen include C6orf14, HSPC183, and HumanS18a.
