Rpl5 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables 5S rRNA binding activity and mRNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of phosphatase activity. Located in cytosolic ribosome. Part of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase multienzyme complex and cytosolic large ribosomal subunit. Is active in postsynaptic density. 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 rat 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.
