Rps15a Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cell population proliferation; response to virus; and ribosomal small subunit biogenesis. Part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Diamond-Blackfan anemia 20. Orthologous to human RPS15A (ribosomal protein S15a).

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 Rps15a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
