| Primary Identifier | MGI:1924971 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 77721 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in translation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including 1-cell stage conceptus; blastocyst-stage conceptus; extraembryonic component; gonad; and liver. Orthologous to human MRPS5 (mitochondrial ribosomal protein S5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a point mutation conferring error-prone mitochondrial translation are viable, fertile, and grossly normal but exhibit impaired mitochondrial function in the brain, age-dependent and stress-induced behavioral alterations, and increased susceptibility to noise-induced hearing damage.
