Gene: RPL3L

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that shares sequence similarity with ribosomal protein L3. The protein belongs to the L3P family of ribosomal proteins. Unlike the ubiquitous expression of ribosomal protein genes, this gene has a tissue-specific pattern of expression, with the highest levels of expression in skeletal muscle and heart. It is not currently known whether the encoded protein is a functional ribosomal protein or whether it has evolved a function that is independent of the ribosome.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 16

Location in Chromosome : 16p13.3

Description of this Gene: ribosomal protein L3 like

Type of Gene: protein-coding
