Predicted to be a structural constituent of ribosome. Predicted to be involved in cytoplasmic translation; maturation of SSU-rRNA; and ribosomal small subunit assembly. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic side of rough endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit and polysomal ribosome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Diamond-Blackfan anemia 15 with mandibulofacial dysostosis. Is an ortholog of human RPS28 (ribosomal protein S28).
rps-28 is described as "Orthologous to yeast (S.cerevisiae) ribosomal protein rps28 using blastP". BlastP of C. elegans with sp|P02380|RS28_YEAST gives the hit Y41D4B.5
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.
