Rpl5 - ribosomal protein L5

Predicted to enable RNA binding activity; ubiquitin ligase inhibitor activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of aminoacyl-tRNA ligase activity; regulation of cellular protein metabolic process; and ribosome biogenesis. Located in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gonad; intestine; sensory organ; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Diamond-Blackfan anemia 6; T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia; and glioblastoma. Orthologous to human RPL5 (ribosomal protein L5).
