RABBIT ANTI RPS3A

Rabbit anti Human RPS3A antibody recognizes RPS3A, also known as 40S ribosomal protein S3a, FTE1 and v-fos transformation effector protein 1.

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. The RPS3A gene encodes a ribosomal protein that is a component of the 40S subunit. The protein belongs to the S3AE family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. Disruption of the gene encoding rat ribosomal protein S3a, also named v-fos transformation effector protein, in v-fos-transformed rat cells results in reversion of the transformed phenotype. RPS3A is co-transcribed with the U73A and U73B small nucleolar RNA genes, which are located in its fourth and third introns, respectively. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of RPS3A dispersed through the genome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for RPS3A (provided by RefSeq, May 2012).

Rabbit anti Human RPS3A antibody detects a band of 30 kDa. The antibody has been extensively validated for western blotting using whole cell lysates.
