description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) A structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in ribosomal small subunit biogenesis and translation. Part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and sensory organ. Orthologous to several human genes including RPS4X (ribosomal protein S4 X-linked). PHENOTYPE: Rps4x, Ube1x, and Zfx are subject to X-inactivation in mouse but not in human, suggesting that Turner syncrome may be in part due to insufficiency in these gene products.
