Enables mRNA binding activity. A structural constituent of ribosome. Involved in cytoplasmic translation and negative regulation of RNA splicing. Located in extracellular exosome and membrane. Part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit. Implicated in Diamond-Blackfan anemia 10.
RGD Description
This gene encodes a ribosomal protein that is a component of the 40S subunit. The protein belongs to the S26E family of ribosomal proteins. Mutations in this gene are found in Diamond-Blackfan anemia 10. There are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]
