rps-3 encodes a small ribosomal subunit S3 protein that contains a KH RNA-binding domain and by homology,is predicted to function in protein biosynthesis; in C. elegans, RPS-3 activity is required for embryonic and germline development, as well as the overall health of the animal.
Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit. Is an ortholog of human RPS3 (ribosomal protein S3).
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.
