Rabbit Anti-MRPL18
39S ribosomal protein L18, mitochondrial (L18mt) (MRP-L18) (Mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit protein uL18m), MRPL18
Together with thiosulfate sulfurtransferase (TST), acts as a mitochondrial import factor for the cytosolic 5S rRNA. The precursor form shows RNA chaperone activity; is able to fold the 5S rRNA into an import-competent conformation that is recognized by rhodanese (TST). Both the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial forms are able to bind to the helix IV-loop D in the gamma domain of the 5S rRNA.
