description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) A structural constituent of ribosome. Involved in glucose homeostasis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle; T cell activation; and ribosome biogenesis. Located in dendrite; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and ribosome. Part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early conceptus; gonad; and hemolymphoid system gland. Orthologous to human RPS6 (ribosomal protein S6). PHENOTYPE: Mice with an inducible, liver-specific null mutation exhibit failure of liver regeneration and an absence of 40S ribosomes in hepatocytes. Mice with a mutation where serines are unphosphorylatable exhibit hypoinsulinemia, impaired glucose tolerance, and smaller MEFs and beta cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
