RPSAP9
Description
The RPSAP9 (ribosomal protein SA pseudogene 9) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 9.
RPSAP9 is a gene that encodes a protein called ribosomal protein SA (small subunit) P9. This protein is a component of the 40S ribosomal subunit, which is responsible for decoding messenger RNA (mRNA) during protein synthesis. Mutations in RPSAP9 have been linked to Diamond-Blackfan anemia, a rare congenital disorder characterized by a deficiency in red blood cell production.
RPSAP9, also known as ribosomal protein SA (small subunit) P9, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RPSAP9 gene. This gene is located on chromosome 19 and encodes a protein that is a component of the 40S ribosomal subunit. The 40S subunit is responsible for decoding messenger RNA (mRNA) during protein synthesis. Mutations in RPSAP9 have been linked to Diamond-Blackfan anemia, a rare congenital disorder characterized by a deficiency in red blood cell production. RPSAP9 is involved in the formation of the ribosomal small subunit, which plays a crucial role in protein synthesis. It is believed to contribute to the assembly and stability of the ribosomal subunit, thereby ensuring the efficient production of proteins.
RPSAP9 is also known as LAMR1P9, RPSA_20_986.
