RPL18
Description
The RPL18 (ribosomal protein L18) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 19.
RPL18 is a gene that encodes a protein called 60S ribosomal protein L18, which is part of the large (60S) subunit of the ribosome. Ribosomes are cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis. RPL18 belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins called L18E. The gene is located in the cytoplasm, and there are several copies of the gene scattered throughout the genome, known as pseudogenes.
RPL18 is a component of the large ribosomal subunit, which is responsible for protein synthesis in the cell. It plays a role in the formation and function of ribosomes.
RPL18 is also known as DBA18, L18, eL18.
