Rpl26 - ribosomal protein L26

Predicted to enable mRNA 5'-UTR binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Involved in DNA damage response, signal transduction by p53 class mediator resulting in cell cycle arrest; cellular response to ionizing radiation; and positive regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage by p53 class mediator. Predicted to be located in cytosolic ribosome; nucleolus; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of cytosolic large ribosomal subunit. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Diamond-Blackfan anemia 11. Orthologous to human RPL26 (ribosomal protein L26). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
