MRPL19: Proteins and Enzymes

Belonging to the ribosomal protein L19P family, MRPL19 plays an important role in cell translation. These Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomal proteins contain a small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit, and consist of 75% protein to rRNA composition. The ribosomal proteins also help in protein synthesis within the mitochondrion. This gene also acts as a structural component of mitochondrial ribosomes, and encodes the 39S subunit protein. Interacting proteins include SMURF2, TRIM63, MAGEC1, MRPL12 and MRPL11. Dyslexia is also a common disease associated with the MRPL19 gene.
