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).
