40S ribosomal protein S2

40S ribosomal protein S2

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens


The RPS2 gene is the gene which, in humans, encodes the 40S ribosomal protein S2.[5][6]

Quick Facts RPS2, 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 S5P family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. This gene shares sequence similarity with mouse LLRep3. It is co-transcribed with the small nucleolar RNA gene U64, which is located in its third intron. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome.[6]

Interactions

RPS2 has been shown to interact with PRMT3.[7]
