rps-13 encodes a small ribosomal subunit S13 protein; by homology, RPS-13 is predicted to function in protein biosynthesis; in C. elegans, RPS-13 activity is required for embryonic and germline development.
Predicted to enable small ribosomal subunit rRNA binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in ribosomal small subunit biogenesis. Predicted to be located in nucleolus. Predicted to be part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit and small-subunit processome. Is an ortholog of human RPS13 (ribosomal protein S13).
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.
