Gene: MRPL13
Official Full Name: mitochondrial ribosomal protein L13provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomal proteins are encoded by nuclear genes and help in protein synthesis within the mitochondrion. Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) consist of a small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit. They have an estimated 75% protein to rRNA composition compared to prokaryotic ribosomes, where this ratio is reversed. Another difference between mammalian mitoribosomes and prokaryotic ribosomes is that the latter contain a 5S rRNA. Among different species, the proteins comprising the mitoribosome differ greatly in sequence, and sometimes in biochemical properties, which prevents easy recognition by sequence homology. This gene encodes a 39S subunit protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

MRPL13 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines designed to lack the mitochondrial ribosomal protein L13 (MRPL13), a crucial component of the mitochondrial ribosome. This product creates an essential tool for researchers investigating mitochondrial function and the intricate roles ribosomal proteins play in cellular metabolism. These cell lines enable the study of various mitochondrial-related diseases, particularly those linked to mitochondrial dysfunction, by facilitating the dissection of the consequences of MRPL13 deficiency on protein synthesis, energy production, and cellular homeostasis.
The loss of MRPL13 impacts mitochondrial translation, leading to significant alterations in the assembly of mitochondrial respiratory complexes and mitochondrial bioenergetics. By using these knockout cell lines, researchers can explore the mechanisms underlying mitochondrial diseases, understand pharmacological responses, and evaluate potential therapeutic strategies. The ability to study the direct effects of MRPL13 deficiency allows for greater insights into diseases such as diabetes, neurodegeneration, and cancer, which are often associated with mitochondrial dysfunction.
What sets these MRPL13 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from other genetic models is their high specificity and reproducibility. While other methods of gene silencing, such as RNA interference, can yield off-target effects and variable results, complete knockout ensures a definitive analysis of MRPL13's functions. This precision makes it a preferred choice for high-throughput screening and targeted research studies.
For researchers and clinicians alike, utilizing MRPL13 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provides a valuable and potent tool for advancing the understanding of mitochondrial biology and developing novel therapeutic approaches. Our expertise in generating high-quality, genetically engineered cell lines underscores our commitment to supporting the scientific community with innovative solutions that drive research forward. Whether in academic institutions or pharmaceutical laboratories, these cell lines are integral to pushing the boundaries of mitochondrial research.
