Anti-Ribosomal Protein L3L

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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008], Protein function: Heart- and skeletal muscle-specific component of the ribosome, which regulates muscle function. Component of the large ribosomal subunit in striated muscle cells: replaces the RPL3 paralog in the ribosome in these cells. The ribosome is a large ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for the synthesis of proteins in the cell. Inhibits myotube growth and muscle function.
