Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ The gene MRPS23 (mitochondrial ribosomal protein S23) encodes a mitochondrial ribosomal protein. The protein spans a length of 190 amino acids. It is mainly present in the small ribosomal subunit._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ Recombinant protein fragment contain a sequence corresponding to a region within amino acids 1 and 164 (Q9Y3D9) of MRPS23 according to AAH00242_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Suggested starting dilutions are as follows: ICC/IF: 1:100-1:1000, IHC-P: 1:100-1:1000, WB: 1:500-1:3000. Not yet tested in other applications. Optimal working dilutions should be determined experimentally by the end user._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ 0.1M Tris, 0.1M Glycine, 20% Glycerol (pH7). 0.01% Thimerosal was added as a preservative._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomal proteins are encoded by nuclear genes and help in protein synthesis within the mitochondrion. Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) consist of a small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit. They have an estimated 75% protein to rRNA composition compared to prokaryotic ribosomes, where this ratio is reversed. Another difference between mammalian mitoribosomes and prokaryotic ribosomes is that the latter contain a 5S rRNA. Among different species, the proteins comprising the mitoribosome differ greatly in sequence, and sometimes in biochemical properties, which prevents easy recognition by sequence homology. This gene encodes a 28S subunit protein. A pseudogene corresponding to this gene is found on chromosome 7p.
