Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables laminin binding activity. A structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including antiviral innate immune response; cytoplasmic translation; and ribosomal small subunit assembly. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system gland. Used to study Diamond-Blackfan anemia and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 5. Orthologous to human RPSA (ribosomal protein SA). PHENOTYPE: Spontaneous mutants show right ventricular cardiomyocyte degeneration and higher susceptibility to arrhythmia. Homozygous null mice fail to develop past E3.5; heterozygotes show craniofacial defects, low mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration and reduced insulin content in pancreatic islet cells.
