RPS7基因编码的功能和结构描述

核糖体是催化蛋白质合成的细胞器，由一个小的40s亚基和一个大的60s亚基组成。这些亚基由4种RNA和大约80种结构上不同的蛋白质组成。这个基因编码一个核糖体蛋白，它是40S亚单位的一个组成部分该蛋白属于核糖体蛋白s7e家族。它位于细胞质中。作为编码核糖体蛋白的典型基因，有多个经过处理的假基因散布在基因组中。

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 40S subunit. The protein belongs to the S7E family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome.
