Anti-Ribosomal Protein L17 Antibody

This rabbit polyclonal primary antibody from Antibodies.com targets Ribosomal Protein L17 (RPL17), a component of the 60S large ribosomal subunit that contributes to ribosome assembly and cytoplasmic protein synthesis. The unconjugated reagent is supplied as 100 µl of antiserum, validated for Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and ELISA workflows across human, mouse, rat, and monkey sample types.

RPL17 is relevant to studies of ribosome biogenesis, translational regulation, and the cellular stress response, where ribosomal protein expression and modification are commonly tracked. Researchers apply this reagent to detect endogenous L17 levels in cell and tissue lysates (WB), localize L17 within fixed tissue sections (IHC), and probe L17 binding in quantitative assays (ELISA). The broad species reactivity supports comparative work between rodent models and primate or human specimens.

For handling, the antibody should be stored at -20°C in working aliquots to limit freeze-thaw cycles, with brief 4°C storage acceptable for active use. The polyclonal format provides recognition of multiple epitopes on the mature RPL17 protein and its precursor forms, supporting broader detection than a monoclonal reagent when antigen processing or post-translational modification may vary between samples.
