rps-14 encodes a small ribosomal subunit S14 protein; by homology, RPS-14 is predicted to function in protein biosynthesis; in C. elegans, RPS-14 activity is required for embryonic and germline development, as well as the overall health of the animal; RPS-14 co-immuoprecipitates with ALG-1, a C. elegans Argonaut ortholog.
Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in ribosomal small subunit assembly and translation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; nucleolus; and ribosome. Predicted to be part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit and small-subunit processome. Expressed in tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in chromosome 5q deletion syndrome. Is an ortholog of human RPS14 (ribosomal protein S14).
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.
