Official Full Name: ribosomal protein S27
Also known as: S27; MPS1; eS27; DBA17; MPS-1
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 four RNAs and about 80 structurally distinct proteins. This gene encodes a member of the S27e family of ribosomal proteins and a component of the 40S subunit. The encoded protein contains a C4-type zinc finger domain, which can bind zinc and nucleic acid. Mutations in this gene have been found in many melanoma patients and at least one patient with Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA). Elevated expression of this gene has been observed in various human cancers. As a typical gene encoding ribosomal proteins, multiple processing pseudogenes of this gene are scattered throughout the genome.
