Other Information

**Key Characteristics** MRPL4 is a mitochondrial ribosomal protein that belongs to the L4 family of ribosomal proteins. It is a small protein, consisting of 39 amino acids, and is encoded by the ENSG00000105364 gene. The protein is highly conserved across different species, suggesting its essential role in the mitochondria. MRPL4 is known to interact with other mitochondrial ribosomal proteins and is involved in the assembly and function of the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit. **Pathways and Functions** The primary function of MRPL4 is to participate in the translation process within the mitochondria. It is involved in the assembly and function of the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit, which is responsible for translating mitochondrial mRNAs into proteins. The protein plays a crucial role in the elongation, initiation, and termination phases of translation. MRPL4 is also involved in the regulation of mitochondrial translation, which is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and energy production. **Clinical Significance** Dysregulation of MRPL4 has been implicated in various diseases, including mitochondrial disorders and cancer. Mitochondrial disorders are characterized by defects in energy production, leading to impaired cell function and tissue damage. Cancer cells often exhibit altered mitochondrial translation, which can contribute to tumor progression and metastasis. The expression of MRPL4 is also altered in certain types of leukemia and lymphoma, suggesting its potential role as a biomarker for disease diagnosis and prognosis. Furthermore, MRPL4 has been identified as a potential target for therapeutic intervention in mitochondrial disorders. The protein's role in regulating mitochondrial translation makes it an attractive candidate for the development of novel therapeutic strategies aimed at improving mitochondrial function and reducing disease severity. In conclusion, MRPL4 is a critical component of the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit, playing a vital role in the translation process within the mitochondria. Its expression and function are essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and energy production, and its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of MRPL4 in human disease and to explore its potential as a therapeutic target.
