MRPL12: Proteins and Enzymes

MRPL12, also known as 39 S ribosomal protein L12, mitochondrial, is a 21.3 kDa, 198 amino acid protein that is involved in mitochondrial protein synthesis by forming homodimers in 39S subunits. Current research is being conducted to identify the effect of the protein on diseases such as prostate cancer and prostatitis. The protein interacts in translation pathways with other proteins such as ICT1, MRPL3, SRRM2, PPP2R2B, and TMEM51.
