RPL26L1

RPL26L1 or Ribosomal Protein L26 Like 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RPL26L1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the ribosomal protein family, which is highly conserved in all species.

Function

The protein encoded by the RPL26L1 gene is a component of the ribosome, the protein factory of the cell. It is involved in the process of protein synthesis, where it plays a crucial role in the assembly and function of the ribosome.

Gene

The RPL26L1 gene is located on the short (p) arm of chromosome 1 at position 36.11, specifically from base pair 27,044,814 to base pair 27,048,814.

Clinical significance

Mutations in the RPL26L1 gene have been associated with various diseases, although the exact mechanisms are not fully understood. It is believed that these mutations may disrupt the normal function of the ribosome, leading to abnormal protein synthesis and disease.
