RABBIT ANTI RPL23

Rabbit anti Human RPL23 antibody recognizes the 60S ribosomal protein L23.

Ribosomes, the organelles that catalyze protein synthesis, consist of a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. Together these subunits are composed of 4 RNA species and approximately 80 structurally distinct proteins. RPL23 encodes a ribosomal protein that is a component of the 60S subunit. The protein belongs to the L14P family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. RPL23 has been referred to as rpL17 because the encoded protein shares amino acid identity with ribosomal protein L17 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae; however, its official symbol is RPL23. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of RPL23 dispersed through the genome (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008).

Rabbit anti Human RPL23 antibody detects a band of 15 kDa. The antibody has been extensively validated for western blotting using whole cell lysates.
