Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable small ribosomal subunit rRNA binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in translation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; foot mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Orthologous to human MRPS18C (mitochondrial ribosomal protein S18C). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased embryo size, a rudimentary egg cylinder, failure of primitive streak formation, absent primitive node and head folds, failure to gastrulate, abnormal mitochondrial morphology and physiology, and complete lethality prior to organogenesis.
