RL18A Polyclonal Antibody, 20ul Cell Function Analysis PGR uses two distinct promotors

PGR uses two distinct promotors and translation start sites in the first exon to produce several transcript variants

Several transcripts encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene

2005 [PubMed 16108726])

The encoded protein is likely a calcium activated chloride channel

RL18A Polyclonal Antibody, 20ul Cell Function Analysis PGR uses two distinct promotorsRibosomes, the organelles that catalyze protein synthesis, consist of a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. Together these subunits are composed of 4 RNA species and approximately 80 structurally distinct proteins. This gene encodes a member of the L18AE family of ribosomal proteins that is a component of the 60S subunit. The encoded protein may play a role in viral replication by interacting with the hepatitis C virus internal ribosome entry
