Rps29 - ribosomal protein S29

Predicted to enable zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in cytoplasmic translation and positive regulation of apoptotic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within translation. Predicted to be located in polysomal ribosome. Predicted to be part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver and biliary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Diamond-Blackfan anemia 13. Orthologous to human RPS29 (ribosomal protein S29). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
