Rpl5 Gene Summary [Mouse]

A structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including protein stabilization; regulation of protein metabolic process; and ribosome biogenesis. Located in cytoplasm. Part of cytosolic large ribosomal subunit. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gonad; intestine; sensory organ; and spleen. Used to study Diamond-Blackfan anemia 6. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Diamond-Blackfan anemia 6; T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia; and glioblastoma. Orthologous to human RPL5 (ribosomal protein L5).

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 Rpl5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
