MRPS33
Description
The MRPS33 (mitochondrial ribosomal protein S33) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 7.
MRPS33 (28S ribosomal protein S33, mitochondrial) is a gene that encodes a protein involved in protein synthesis within the mitochondria. Mitochondria are organelles found in eukaryotic cells that are responsible for cellular respiration. Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) are responsible for translating mitochondrial DNA into proteins. The MRPS33 protein is a component of the small subunit (28S) of the mitoribosome, which is involved in translation initiation. This gene is highly conserved among mammals, Drosophila, and Caenorhabditis elegans. There are different splice variants of this gene, but all encode the same protein.
MRPS33 is also known as CGI-139, MRP-S33, PTD003, S33mt, mS33.
