General description of the gene and the encoded protein(s) using information from HGNC and Ensembl, as well as predictions made by the Human Protein Atlas project.
Gene namei
Official gene symbol, which is typically a short form of the gene name, according to HGNC.
All transcripts of all genes have been analyzed regarding the location(s) of corresponding protein based on prediction methods for signal peptides and transmembrane regions.
Genes with at least one transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, according to prediction methods or to UniProt location data, have been further annotated and classified with the aim to determine if the corresponding protein(s) are secreted or actually retained in intracellular locations or membrane-attached.
Remaining genes, with no transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, will be assigned the prediction-based location(s).
The annotated location overrules the predicted location, so that a gene encoding a predicted secreted protein that has been annotated as intracellular will have intracellular as the final location.
Gene information from Ensembl and Entrez, as well as links to available gene identifiers are displayed here. Information was retrieved from Ensembl if not indicated otherwise.

Component of the small ribosomal subunit 1,2. The ribosome is a large ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for the synthesis of proteins in the cell 3,4. Has endonuclease activity and plays a role in repair of damaged DNA 5. Cleaves phosphodiester bonds of DNAs containing altered bases with broad specificity and cleaves supercoiled DNA more efficiently than relaxed DNA 6. Displays high binding affinity for 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), a common DNA lesion caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) 7. Has also been shown to bind with similar affinity to intact and damaged DNA 8. Stimulates the N-glycosylase activity of the base excision protein OGG1 9. Enhances the uracil excision activity of UNG1 10. Also stimulates the cleavage of the phosphodiester backbone by APEX1 11. When located in the mitochondrion, reduces cellular ROS levels and mitochondrial DNA damage 12. Has also been shown to negatively regulate DNA repair in cells exposed to hydrogen peroxide 13. Plays a role in regulating transcription as part of the NF-kappa-B p65-p50 complex where it binds to the RELA/p65 subunit, enhances binding of the complex to DNA and promotes transcription of target genes 14. Represses its own translation by binding to its cognate mRNA 15. Binds to and protects TP53/p53 from MDM2-mediated ubiquitination 16. Involved in spindle formation and chromosome movement during mitosis by regulating microtubule polymerization 17. Involved in induction of apoptosis through its role in activation of CASP8 18. Induces neuronal apoptosis by interacting with the E2F1 transcription factor and acting synergistically with it to up-regulate pro-apoptotic proteins BCL2L11/BIM and HRK/Dp5 19. Interacts with TRADD following exposure to UV radiation and induces apoptosis by caspase-dependent JNK activation 20....show less

Gene summary (Entrez)i
Useful information about the gene from Entrez
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, where it forms part of the domain where translation is initiated. The protein belongs to the S3P family of ribosomal proteins. Studies of the mouse and rat proteins have demonstrated that the protein has an extraribosomal role as an endonuclease involved in the repair of UV-induced DNA damage. The protein appears to be located in both the cytoplasm and nucleus but not in the nucleolus. Higher levels of expression of this gene in colon adenocarcinomas and adenomatous polyps compared to adjacent normal colonic mucosa have been observed. This gene is co-transcribed with the small nucleolar RNA genes U15A and U15B, which are located in its first and fifth introns, respectively. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]...show less
