Rps27 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in ribosome biogenesis and translation at synapse. Part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and presynapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Diamond-Blackfan anemia 17. Orthologous to human RPS27 (ribosomal protein S27). [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 rat Rps27 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
