Rps24 - ribosomal protein S24

Predicted to enable translation initiation factor binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in erythrocyte homeostasis; rRNA processing; and ribosomal small subunit biogenesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within translation. Predicted to be located in cytosolic ribosome and endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Diamond-blackfan anemia 3. Orthologous to human RPS24 (ribosomal protein S24). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
