Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
A structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in maturation of LSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA). Predicted to act upstream of or within translation. Located in cytoplasm and ribosome. Part of cytosolic large ribosomal subunit. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; female reproductive system; and liver. Orthologous to human RPL7 (ribosomal protein L7).
