description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) A structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in translation. Part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and sensory organ. Orthologous to several human genes including RPS4X (ribosomal protein S4 X-linked). PHENOTYPE: Rps4x, Ube1x, and Zfx are subject to X-inactivation in mouse but not in human, suggesting that Turner syncrome may be in part due to insufficiency in these gene products.
