Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables heparin binding activity. A structural constituent of ribosome. Acts upstream of or within cell-substrate adhesion; fibroblast proliferation; and translation. Located in cytosolic ribosome and membrane. Part of cytosolic large ribosomal subunit. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including bone; eye; gonad; gut; and skin. Orthologous to human RPL29 (ribosomal protein L29). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice exhibit a delayed global growth around mid-gestation including delayed digit and incisor formation, low birth weights associated with a proportional reduction in organ and skeletal size, delayed postnatal development and sexual maturation, and significant postnatal lethality.
