Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) A structural constituent of ribosome. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including 90S preribosome assembly; middle ear morphogenesis; and sensory perception of sound. Located in cytoplasm. Part of cytosolic large ribosomal subunit and eukaryotic 80S initiation complex. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in thymus primordium. Used to study otitis media. Orthologous to human RPL38 (ribosomal protein L38). PHENOTYPE: Mutations in this gene affect growth and tail formation, and result in anterior and posterior homeotic vertebral transformations along the axial skeleton along with other abnormalities depending on genetic background. Homozygotes die in the early embryonic period. [provided by MGI curators] |
