Rrp15 - ribosomal RNA processing 15 homolog

This gene encodes a protein similar to budding yeast Rrp15p. Rrp15p is a component of pre-60S ribosomal particles in budding yeast, and is required for the early maturation steps of the 60S subunit. The mouse genome contains at least one pseudogene on the X chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
