Predicted to enable several functions, including heparin binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and translation regulator activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in cytoplasmic translation and regulation of translation at presynapse, modulating synaptic transmission. Predicted to act upstream of or within alpha-beta T cell differentiation. Located in ribosome. Part of cytosolic large ribosomal subunit. Orthologous to human RPL22 (ribosomal protein L22).
