Also known as: L11; uL5; DBA7; GIG34<br />The ribosome is an organelle that catalyzes protein synthesis and consists of a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. These subunits consist of 4 RNAs and about 80 structurally distinct proteins. The ribosomal protein encoded by this gene is a component of the 60S subunit. This protein belongs to the L5P family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. This protein may be related to 5S rRNA. Alternative splice transcript variants of this gene have been found to encode distinct isoforms. As a typical gene encoding ribosomal proteins, multiple processing pseudogenes of this gene are scattered throughout the genome.
