Predicted to enable several functions, including transcription coactivator binding activity; ubiquitin ligase inhibitor activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to actinomycin D; negative regulation of nitrogen compound metabolic process; and protein stabilization. Predicted to act upstream of or within translation. Located in nucleolus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; retina; and uterus. Orthologous to human RPL23 (ribosomal protein L23). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
