MRPL49: Proteins and Enzymes

MRPL49, or Mitochondrial Ribosomal Protein L49, consists of a 166 amino acid isoform that is 19 kDa, and is broadly associated with mitochondrial protein synthesis, though its specific function is still being researched. Current disease research is determining the relationship between MRPL49 and a variety of diseases and disorders, including glossopharyngeal neuralgia, osteoarthritis, ossifying fibroma, osteoporosis, and thoracic outlet syndrome. The protein has been linked to translation, and interacts with ICT1, OXA1L, SlC2A4, AARS2, and AASS.
