rpl-17 encodes a large ribosomal subunit L17 protein; by homology, RPL-17 is predicted to function in protein biosynthesis; in C. elegans, RPL-17 activity is required for embryonic and germline development, as well as normal postembryonic growth rates.
Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in cytoplasmic translation. Predicted to be located in ribosome. Predicted to be part of cytosolic large ribosomal subunit. Is an ortholog of human RPL17 (ribosomal protein L17).
rpl-17 is described as "Orthologous to yeast (S.cerevisiae) ribosomal protein rpl17 using blastP". BlastP with sp|P05740|R171_YEAST gives one hit in the genome with E < 0.01, namely to Y48G8AL.8a/b
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
