Ribosomes, the organelles that catalyze protein synthesis,
consist of a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. Together
these subunits are composed of 4 RNA species and approximately 80
structurally distinct proteins. This gene encodes a ribosomal
protein that is a component of the 60S subunit. The protein belongs
to the L2P family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the
cytoplasm. In rat, the protein associates with the 5.8S rRNA, very
likely participates in the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA, and is a
constituent of the elongation factor 2-binding site at the
ribosomal subunit interface. Alternatively spliced transcript
variants encoding the same protein exist. As is typical for genes
encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed
pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome. [provided by
