RPL18A: Lysates

RPL18A, also referred to as 60S Ribosomal Protein L18A, is a component of the large 60S subunit of ribosomes. RPL18A is 176 amino acids in length and is approximately 20kDa. RPL18A has a high binding affinity for Importin 9, a nuclear transport receptor that averts aggregation of RPS7 and RPL18A in the cytoplasm. Current research on RPL18A has shown a possible link with hepatitis C, malaria and Treacher Collins syndrome. RPL18A has also been shown to interact with HIST1H4A, HIST1H4B, HIST1H4C, HIST1H4D and HIST1H4E.
