Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in ribosomal small subunit assembly. Predicted to be located in ribosome. Predicted to be part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit. Is expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; excretory cell; intestine; non-striated muscle; and pharynx. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Diamond-Blackfan anemia 17. Orthologous to several human genes including RPS27 (ribosomal protein S27).
