Mrps11 - mitochondrial ribosomal protein S11

Predicted to enable mRNA 5'-UTR binding activity and small ribosomal subunit rRNA binding activity. 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); mitochondrial translation; and ribosomal small subunit assembly. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; gonad; heart; liver; and metanephros. Orthologous to human MRPS11 (mitochondrial ribosomal protein S11).
