Rps5 - ribosomal protein S5

Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity and rRNA binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in regulation of translational fidelity; ribosomal small subunit assembly; and translation. Predicted to be located in cytosolic ribosome. Predicted to be part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit. Predicted to be active in ribosome. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; nervous system; sensory organ; and thymus. Orthologous to human RPS5 (ribosomal protein S5).
