Rps8 - ribosomal protein S8

Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in maturation of SSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA). Predicted to be located in cytosolic ribosome and endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit. Is expressed in brain. Orthologous to human RPS8 (ribosomal protein S8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
