rpl-22 encodes a large ribosomal subunit L22 protein; by homology, RPL-22 is predicted to function in protein biosynthesis; in C. elegans, RPL-22 activity is broadly required for embryonic and germline development, as well as normal body coloration, morphology, and postembryonic growth rates.
Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. 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 ribonucleoprotein complex. Is an ortholog of human RPL22 (ribosomal protein L22).
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.
