Mrpl51 Gene Summary [Mouse]
A structural constituent of ribosome. Acts upstream of or within translation. Located in mitochondrial ribosome. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Orthologous to human MRPL51 (mitochondrial ribosomal protein L51). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Mrpl51 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
