RABBIT ANTI RPL13

Rabbit anti Human RPL13 antibody recognizes the 60S ribosomal protein L13, also known as 60S ribosomal protein L13, OK/SW-cl.46, breast basic conserved protein 1.

Ribosomes, the organelles that catalyze protein synthesis, consist of a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. Together these subunits are composed of 4 RNA species and approximately 80 structurally distinct proteins. RPL13 encodes a ribosomal protein that is a component of the 60S subunit. The protein belongs to the L13E family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. RPL13 is expressed at significantly higher levels in benign breast lesions than in breast carcinomas. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for RPL13. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of RPL13 dispersed through the genome (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011).

Rabbit anti Human RPL13 antibody detects a band of 26 kDa. The antibody has been extensively validated for western blotting using whole cell lysates.
