Recombinant Human 60S ribosomal protein L35a (RPL35A)

Uniprot Id

P18077

Target Species

Human

Target Name

RPL35A

Target Full Name

Large ribosomal subunit protein eL33

Target Function

Required for the proliferation and viability of hematopoietic cells. Plays a role in 60S ribosomal subunit formation. The protein was found to bind to both initiator and elongator tRNAs and consequently was assigned to the P site or P and A site.

Target Involvement

Diamond-Blackfan anemia 5 (DBA5)

Target Protein Families

Eukaryotic ribosomal protein eL33 family

Target Research Area

Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling

Target Synonyms

60S ribosomal protein L35a; Cell growth-inhibiting gene 33 protein; DBA5; L35A; Ribosomal Protein L35a; RL35A_HUMAN; RPL35A

Target Background

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. This gene encodes a ribosomal protein that is a component of the 60S subunit. The protein belongs to the L35AE family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. The rat protein has been shown to bind to both initiator and elongator tRNAs, and thus, it is located at the P site, or P and A sites, of the ribosome. Although this gene was originally mapped to chromosome 18, it has been established that it is located at 3q29-qter. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome.
