RPL24
Description
The RPL24 (ribosomal protein L24) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 3.
60S ribosomal protein L24 is a protein encoded by the RPL24 gene in humans. Ribosomes, the organelles responsible for protein synthesis, consist of a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. These subunits contain 4 RNA species and approximately 80 distinct proteins. This gene encodes a ribosomal protein that is part of the 60S subunit, belonging to the L24E family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. This gene was initially called ribosomal protein L30 due to its amino acid similarity with the L30 ribosomal proteins from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, its official name is ribosomal protein L24. Like genes encoding other ribosomal proteins, multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene are dispersed throughout the genome.
RPL24 is also known as HEL-S-310, L24, eL24.
