It is mapped to 19q13.33. Ribosomes, 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 L13P family of ribosomal proteins that is a component of the 60S subunit. The encoded protein also plays a role in the repression of inflammatory genes as a component of the IFN-gamma-activated inhibitor of translation (GAIT) complex. This gene is co-transcribed with the small nucleolar RNA genes U32, U33, U34, and U35, which are located in the second, fourth, fifth, and sixth introns, respectively. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed throughout the genome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor curated annotations (gene\/protein naming, domains, isoforms, and pathway links) for RPL13A, consult primary databases such as UniProt, NCBI Gene, and Ensembl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \n\u003cli\u003eContext-dependent expression studies: researchers often examine RPL13A abundance and localization across perturbations (genetic, pharmacologic, or environmental) to connect phenotype to molecular changes.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eReagent reproducibility: there is growing emphasis on antibody specificity checks using orthogonal approaches (e.g., genetic perturbation or independent antibodies) and transparent reporting of clone\/lot information.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eMulti-modal datasets: antibody-based readouts are increasingly combined with transcriptomics and imaging to relate protein-level measurements to cell-state transitions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \n\u003cli\u003eWestern blotting (immunoblot) for relative detection of target protein abundance and apparent molecular weight.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eImmunohistochemistry for spatial mapping of target expression across tissues and cell types.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDirect ELISA: commonly used to detect or compare RPL13A across experimental conditions (conceptual guidance only).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen comparing conditions, interpret changes in signal in the context of sample composition, expected localization, and any known isoform complexity for the target.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIsoforms and PTMs:\u003c\/strong\u003e alternative splicing or post-translational modifications can change epitope accessibility and apparent molecular weight; interpret bands\/signals accordingly.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCross-reactivity and matrix effects:\u003c\/strong\u003e background binding can vary by sample type, species, and blocking\/detection chemistries; include appropriate negative controls.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl concepts:\u003c\/strong\u003e where feasible, use genetic perturbation (KO\/KD\/overexpression), orthogonal assays, or independent antibodies to support specificity claims.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntibody considerations:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyclonal reagents may recognize multiple epitopes and can increase sensitivity but may show broader binding profiles, while monoclonal clones provide a single-epitope readout that can improve consistency across experiments.
