MRPL13 Human Recombinant produced in E. Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 201 amino acids (1-178 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 23.1kDa. MRPL13 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomal proteins are encoded by nuclear genes and assist in protein synthesis within the mitochondrion. Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) consist of a small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit (MRPL13 is a 39S subunit protein) and have an estimated 75% protein to rRNA composition compared to prokaryotic ribosomes, where this ratio is reversed. An additional difference between mammalian mitoribosomes and prokaryotic ribosomes is that the second contain a 5S rRNA. Among various species, the proteins comprising the mitoribosome differ greatly in sequence, and sometimes in biochemical properties, which prevents easy recognition by sequence homology.
