Invitrogen™ Human MRPS30 (aa 130-221) Control Fragment Recombinant Protein

Description

Highest antigen sequence indentity to the following orthologs: Mouse (54%), Rat (54%). This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments with the corresponding antibody, PA5-53844 (PA5-53844. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.

Mitochondrial ribosomes consist of a large 39S subunit and a small 28S subunit, both of which are comprised of multiple mitochondrial ribosomal proteins (MRPs) that are encoded by nuclear genes and are essential for protein synthesis within mitochondria. MRP-S30 (mitochondrial ribosomal protein S30), also known as PDCD9 (programmed cell death protein 9), is a 439 amino acid protein that localizes to the mitochondrion, where it exists as a component of the 28S ribosomal subunit and works in conjunction with other MRPs to mediate protein synthesis. MRP-S30 is expressed in kidney, liver, heart and skeletal muscle. The gene encoding MRP-S30 maps to human chromosome 5, which contains 181 million base pairs and comprises nearly 6% of the human genome. Deletion of the p arm of chromosome 5 leads to Cri du chat syndrome, while deletion of the q arm or of chromosome 5 altogether is common in therapy-related acute myelogenous leukemias and myelodysplastic syndrome.
