RPL18 - ribosomal protein L18 Gene
Also Known as L18; DBA18
Species: Homo sapiens
About RPL18
This gene has 16 transcripts (splice variants), 176 orthologues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in ovary (RPKM 914.0), lymph node (RPKM 396.5) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
Ribosomes, the organelles that catalyze protein synthesis, consist of a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. Together these subunits are composed of 4 RNA species and approximately 80 structurally distinct proteins. This gene encodes a member of the L18E family of ribosomal proteins that is a component of the 60S subunit. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
