Encoded by the QRSL1 gene on chromosome 6q15, this protein forms part of the heterotrimeric GatCAB complex (comprising QRSL1, GATB, and GATC) that catalyzes the transamidation of misacylated Glu-tRNA(Gln) into Gln-tRNA(Gln). This reaction maintains translational fidelity in mitochondria, ensuring proper expression of the mitochondrial genome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStructurally, QRSL1 is a 477-amino-acid mitochondrial matrix protein of approximately 53 kilodaltons containing a glutaminase domain and an amidotransferase catalytic domain that cooperatively enable amide group transfer from glutamine to tRNA-bound glutamate. It interacts with the GATB and GATC subunits to form a functional enzyme complex anchored to mitochondrial ribosomes. QRSL1 is ubiquitously expressed, with high levels in energy-demanding tissues such as heart, muscle, and brain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe QRSL1 antibody is widely used in mitochondrial biology, enzymology, and translation research to study aminoacyl-tRNA synthesis, mitochondrial translation accuracy, and metabolic regulation. Western blot analysis detects a 53 kilodalton band corresponding to QRSL1, while immunofluorescence reveals characteristic mitochondrial localization. This antibody serves as a reliable tool for evaluating mitochondrial translation machinery and enzyme complex formation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFunctionally, QRSL1 ensures accurate decoding of the mitochondrial genetic code by converting incorrectly charged tRNAs into their correct aminoacylated forms. Mutations in QRSL1 are linked to mitochondrial encephalopathy and lactic acidosis due to impaired oxidative phosphorylation and protein synthesis defects. The enzyme also contributes to overall mitochondrial proteostasis by preventing misincorporation of amino acids during translation. The QRSL1 antibody supports mechanistic studies of mitochondrial translation, respiratory chain biogenesis, and genetic disorders caused by tRNA modification defects.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting protein-level changes to phenotype using orthogonal readouts (genetic perturbation, transcriptomics, imaging).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsidering isoforms and post-translational regulation when interpreting protein-level changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparing results across species and model systems with matched controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e compare relative abundance and activation-state changes across conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunohistochemistry:\u003c\/strong\u003e map target signal in tissue context and compare regions\/phenotypes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow cytometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e quantify target-positive populations and signal shifts at single-cell resolution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eELISA:\u003c\/strong\u003e support antibody-based quantification in assay formats where applicable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpret changes in signal alongside appropriate controls and, when relevant, in parallel with total-protein or pathway readouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal can reflect expression level, isoform composition, and post-translational state; interpret results in the context of your model system and stimuli.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies differences and sample matrices can influence epitope recognition; prioritize matched controls and orthogonal confirmation when feasible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntibody notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyclonal antibodies recognize multiple epitopes, which can broaden the epitope footprint and may increase sensitivity in some contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt search — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb?query=QRSL1 - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=QRSL1 - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=QRSL1 - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/QRSL1 - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=QRSL1+review --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 ug\/ml \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53047306191213,"sku":"FY12918","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_9613af53-8a7c-4708-9139-9d171bc2656e.jpg?v=1782237062","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/qrsl1-antibody-glutamyl-trna-amidotransferase-subunit-a-bha17135820","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
