Gene

rps-8

Species
Caenorhabditis elegans
Symbol
rps-8
Name
Ribosomal Protein, Small subunit 8
Synonyms
  • CELE_F42C5.8
  • eS8
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in maturation of SSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA). Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytoplasm; nucleolus; and ribosome. Predicted to be part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit and small-subunit processome. Orthologous to human RPS8 (ribosomal protein S8).
WB Description
rps-8 encodes a small ribosomal subunit S8 protein; by homology, RPS-8 is predicted to function in protein biosynthesis; in C. elegans, RPS-8 activity is required for germline development and the overall health of the animal.
