Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. A pseudogene corresponding to this gene is found on chromosome 12q. This gene encodes a 39S subunit protein that belongs to the EcoL2 ribosomal protein family. Among different species, the proteins comprising the mitoribosome differ greatly in sequence, and sometimes in biochemical properties, which prevents easy recognition by sequence homology. Another difference between mammalian mitoribosomes and prokaryotic ribosomes is that the latter contain a 5S rRNA.

They have an estimated 75% protein to rRNA composition compared to prokaryotic ribosomes, where this ratio is reversed. Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) consist of a small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit. Mitochondrial ribosomal protein L2(MRPL2) Homo sapiens Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomal proteins are encoded by nuclear genes and help in protein synthesis within the mitochondrion. Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, and 0.02% sodium azide.
