Mouse Anti-Porcine Mitochondrial Ribosomal Protein L38 (MRPL38) Monoclonal Antibody

Porcine mitochondrial ribosomal protein L38 (MRPL38) is an essential component of the mitochondrial ribosome, which is responsible for the synthesis of proteins within the mitochondria. This protein plays a critical role in cellular respiration and energy production, as it contributes to the assembly and function of the mitochondrial ribosome. MRPL38 is expressed across various tissues, with significant implications for growth, differentiation, and development. Mutations or deficiencies in MRPL38 can lead to mitochondrial diseases, which are a group of disorders caused by failures of the mitochondrial energy production system. These diseases can manifest in a range of clinical symptoms, including myopathies and sensorineural disorders such as blindness and deafness. The study of MRPL38 is therefore crucial for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying these diseases and for developing potential therapeutic strategies.
