Rpl26 - ribosomal protein L26

Predicted to enable mRNA 5'-UTR binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Involved in response to amino acid starvation. Located in terminal bouton. Part of cytosolic large ribosomal subunit. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Diamond-Blackfan anemia 11. Orthologous to several human genes including RPL26L1 (ribosomal protein L26 like 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
