Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
A structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to actinomycin D; negative regulation of nitrogen compound metabolic process; and protein stabilization. Predicted to act upstream of with a positive effect on G1 to G0 transition and regulation of G1 to G0 transition. Predicted to act upstream of or within translation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleolus. Part of cytosolic large ribosomal subunit. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; retina; and uterus. Orthologous to human RPL23 (ribosomal protein L23).
