Rps28 - ribosomal protein S28

Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in cytoplasmic translation; maturation of SSU-rRNA; and ribosomal small subunit assembly. Predicted to be located in polysomal ribosome. Predicted to be part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and vitelline vein. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Diamond Blackfan anemia 15 with mandibulofacial dysostosis. Orthologous to human RPS28 (ribosomal protein S28).
