Anti-MRPL51 Antibody

For laboratories working on mitochondrial translation and ribosome biogenesis, this unconjugated rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes MRPL51 (also referenced in the literature as MRP64 and bMRP64), a nuclear-encoded component of the 28S small subunit of the mammalian mitochondrial ribosome. The reagent is supplied at 1 mg/ml in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) with 0.05% sodium azide at approximately pH 7.3, and is validated for Western blot detection of the human, rat, and mouse protein. Because the antibody is unconjugated, end users can apply their own HRP, fluorescent, or biotin labels, which is useful in custom immunoblotting workflows with cell lysates and enriched mitochondrial fractions where polyclonal epitope coverage helps capture both full-length and processed forms of the target. Aliquot the 100 µl volume upon receipt to minimize freeze-thaw cycles, and store at -20°C in the supplied buffer to preserve activity; working aliquots may be kept at 4°C for short-term use. The included 0.05% sodium azide serves as a preservative and is compatible with standard Western blot protocols. The product is supplied by Antibodies.com as a research-use-only reagent and is not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
