Rpl21

A structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in cytoplasmic translation. Located in cytoplasm. Part of cytosolic large ribosomal subunit. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including forebrain; jaw; mandibular process; sensory organ; and skin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypotrichosis 12. Orthologous to human RPL21 (ribosomal protein L21). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Rpl21 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
