Anti-MRPL13 Antibody

Mitochondrial Ribosomal Protein L13 (MRPL13) is a structural component of the large 39S subunit of the mammalian mitochondrial ribosome, where it supports translation of mitochondrially encoded transcripts required for oxidative phosphorylation and respiratory chain assembly. This unconjugated polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com is raised in rabbit and supplied as a 100 µl liquid at 1 mg/ml in phosphate-buffered saline with 0.05% sodium azide at approximately pH 7.3. Validated reactivity spans human, rat, and mouse samples, making the antibody a practical tool for comparative studies of mitochondrial translation across mammalian model systems and human cell lines. The polyclonal format presents a mixed population of epitope specificities, which is helpful when probing denatured protein on western blot membranes after SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. For short-term handling, refrigerate the vial at 4°C; for longer-term storage, aliquot the contents and store frozen to limit freeze-thaw cycles and preserve binding activity. The product is intended for research use only and is not approved for diagnostic applications.
