RPS21: Proteins and Enzymes

RPS21 is a gene that codes for a ribosomal protein that is a component of the 40S subunit, and has a length of 83 amino acids and a weight of approximately 9 kDa. Current studies are being done on several disorders and diseases related to this gene, including pure red-cell aplasia, anemia, malaria, and leukemia. RPS21 has also been shown to have interactions with RIOK2, RPSA, ABCF2, KRR1, and MCTS1 in pathways such as the cytoplasmic ribosomal protein, PB1-F2 synthesis, influenza life cycle, and viral mRNA translation pathways.
