RPL22: Proteins and Enzymes

RPL22, also known as 60S ribosomal protein L22, is a 15kDa 128 amino acid protein. The primary function of RPL22 is to encode a cytoplasmic ribosomal protein. Current research is being conducted on RPL22 in relation to hepatitis, carcinoma, malaria, leukemia, hepatitis c, pneumonia and lung carcinoma. RPL22 has been linked to the virulence, methylation, contact inhibition, pathogenesis and cell growth pathways where it interacts with SHC1, UBA5, CSE1L, PRKAG1 and MAP3K14.
