40S ribosomal protein S23

40S ribosomal protein S23

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens


40S ribosomal protein S23 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RPS23 gene.[5][6]

Quick Facts RPS23, Available structures ...

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 S12P family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. The protein shares significant amino acid similarity with S. cerevisiae ribosomal protein S28. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome.[6]
