MRPL1
Description
The MRPL1 (mitochondrial ribosomal protein L1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 4.
MRPL1 (mitochondrial ribosomal protein L1) is a protein encoded by the MRPL1 gene in humans. It is a component of the large (39S) subunit of the mitochondrial ribosome (mitoribosome), which is responsible for protein synthesis within the mitochondrion. Mammalian mitoribosomes have a unique composition compared to prokaryotic ribosomes, with a higher protein-to-RNA ratio and lacking a 5S rRNA. MRPL1 belongs to the L1 ribosomal protein family and is encoded by a nuclear gene.
MRPL1 (mitochondrial ribosomal protein L1) is a component of the large ribosomal subunit (39S) in mitochondria. It is involved in protein synthesis within the mitochondrion, which is essential for cellular energy production.
MRPL1 is also known as BM022, L1MT, MRP-L1, uL1m.
