rps-12 encodes a small ribosomal subunit S12 protein; by homology, RPS-12 is predicted to function in protein biosynthesis; in C. elegans, RPS-12 activity is required for embryonic and germline development, normal movement, and the overall health of the animal.
Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in ribosomal small subunit biogenesis. Predicted to be located in nucleolus and ribosome. Predicted to be part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit and small-subunit processome. Is an ortholog of human RPS12 (ribosomal protein S12).
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.
