DBA18

The reference OMIM entry for this protein is 604179

Ribosomal protein l18; rpl18

DESCRIPTION

The mammalian ribosome is composed of 4 RNA species (see 180450) and approximately 80 different proteins (see 180466).

CLONING

Puder et al. (1993) isolated a partial human RPL18 cDNA from a cDNA library generated by subtracting a normal colon cDNA library from a colon tumor cDNA library. By PCR of a human normal colon cDNA library using oligonucleotides based on the partial cDNA, they cloned a full-length RPL18 cDNA. The deduced 188-amino acid human RPL18 protein is 97% identical to rat Rpl18. Northern blot analysis detected an approximately 650-bp RPL18 transcript in human liver and colon.

MAPPING

By somatic cell hybrid and radiation hybrid mapping analyses, Kenmochi et al. (1998) mapped the human RPL18 gene to chromosome 19q. ... More on the omim web site
