RSPH3


Description

The RSPH3 gene, located on chromosome 17, encodes a protein essential for ribosome biogenesis. Ribosomes are cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis, a fundamental process for life. RSPH3 plays a crucial role in assembling the small ribosomal subunit, a vital component of the ribosome. Mutations in RSPH3 can disrupt this assembly process, leading to various cellular dysfunctions.
