RPL22L1


Ribosomal protein L22 like 1, or eL22L1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RPL22L1 gene.

Function

eL22L1 is a ribosomal protein paralog of the eL22 protein of the Eukaryotic large [ribosomal subunit (60S)|60S ribosomal subunit]. This paralog is divergent from the normal copy, and is expressed when the normal copy is deleted from mice. This compensation implies a ribosome function similar to the normal copy, though eL22L1 has also been implicates in other extraribosomal roles including pre-mRNA splicing regulation in zebrafish.
