Anti-RPL38 Polyclonal Antibody for WB, ELISA - P63173

Core Product Specifications and Parameters

Biological Background: RPL38 Function and Localization

• RPL38, also known as 60S ribosomal protein L38 or eL38, is a component of the large ribosomal subunit, a ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for cellular protein synthesis.
• The ribosome mediates the translation of mRNA into polypeptide chains, with RPL38 contributing to its structural integrity and function.
• RPL38 is localized in the cytoplasm, consistent with its role in ribosomal assembly and protein translation.
• Post-translational modifications of RPL38 include acetylation and ubiquitylation (Ubl conjugation), as indicated by proteomics identification.
• The calculated molecular weight of human RPL38 is approximately 8 kDa (8218 Da), and it belongs to the ribosomal protein family, classified under reference proteome.
• No tissue-specific expression or antimicrobial functions are reported for RPL38.

Experimental Guidance and Technical Tips

• The immunogen covers the N-terminal 70 amino acids of human RPL38; consider this region for epitope mapping if needed.
• For western blot, detect an 8kDa band; optimize transfer conditions for small proteins (e.g., low molecular weight cutoff membranes, reduced methanol).
• For ELISA, use recombinant RPL38 protein as a positive control; validate the assay with relevant sample types.
• While validated for human samples, cross-reactivity with other species may require experimental confirmation.
• The antibody is provided as a polyclonal rabbit IgG; test different dilutions empirically for best signal-to-noise ratio.
