QuickView for RPS21 (gene)

Gene Symbol:

RPS21 Homo sapiens

Full name:

ribosomal protein S21

Synonyms:

HLDF, S21, 40S ribosomal protein S21, 8.2 kDa differentiation factor, human leukemia differentiation factor, small ribosomal subunit protein eS21

Genomic Location:

Chr 20: 60395516-60396971

Description:

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 ribosomal protein that is a component of the 40S subunit. The protein belongs to the S21E family of ribosoma...

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 ribosomal protein that is a component of the 40S subunit. The protein belongs to the S21E family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. Alternative splice variants that encode different protein isoforms have been described, but their existence has not been verified. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome.
