This gene encodes a protein sharing 96% amino acid similarity with ribosomal protein S27, which suggests the encoded protein may be a component of the 40S ribosomal subunit. RPS27L (Ribosomal Protein S27 Like) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Viral mRNA Translation and Activation of the mRNA upon binding of the cap-binding complex and eIFs, and subsequent binding to 43S. GO annotations related to this gene include poly(A) RNA binding and cysteine-type endopeptidase activator activity involved in apoptotic process. An important paralog of this gene is RPS27.
