Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in cytoplasmic translation and ribosomal large subunit biogenesis. Predicted to be located in ribosome. Predicted to be part of cytosolic large ribosomal subunit. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Diamond-Blackfan anemia 11. Orthologous to human RPL26 (ribosomal protein L26) and RPL26L1 (ribosomal protein L26 like 1).
WB Description
rpl-26 encodes a large ribosomal subunit L26 protein; by homology, RPL-26 is predicted to function in protein biosynthesis; in C. elegans, RPL-26 activity is required for embryonic and germline development and normal rates of postembryonic growth.
