Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets large ribosomal subunit protein uL18 (gene RPL5) in human samples and is validated for Western blot, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 34.4 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 35 kDa.
RPL5 (uL18) is a large-subunit ribosomal protein that binds 5S rRNA and, with RPL11, forms part of the 60S central protuberance. When ribosome biogenesis is impaired, the RPL5–RPL11–5S rRNA complex inhibits MDM2 and stabilizes p53, and RPL5 mutations are a known cause of Diamond–Blackfan anemia.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human PC-3 cells, human MOLT-4 cells, human HeLa cells, human Daudi cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): HepG2 cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant human RPL5 fragment (Lys27–Ser297), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. UniProt places large ribosomal subunit protein uL18 in the cytoplasm and nucleus. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
